Formatting

: at the start of a line indents the line. works like the TAB character
you can put more than one
  1. # at the start of each element
  2. creates an indented
  3. numbered list
  • * indents and places a bullet point
    • :#* can be combined, but there is little need
    • and it quickly goes wrong
  1. ::#may be useful for indenting lists within lists

[[test]] creates a link where 'test' is another Wiki article. Articles are all referenced by the titles, so the link for the page called [[UNESCO World Heritage List]] is exactly that. It is case sensitive and red links are either invalid UNESCO World heritage List or link to a page which does not exist (doing it is allowed) and blue links are the opposite UNESCO World Heritage List.

[http://www.131500.com.au/ Transport Infoline] creates a link to an external resource labelled Transport Infoline

'''something''' will make something

''something'' will make something

Spelling should be US English
