<nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>
Becomes a link to the [[Main Page]] of this Wiki.
<nowiki>[[MPC|Musepack]]</nowiki>
Becomes a link to the MPC page but Musepack is written instead like this: [[MPC|Musepack]]
A postfix added right after a normal internal link is added to the written word in the final document, but links to the page without the postfix.
<nowiki>[[Critical band]]s</nowiki>

; Bare URL
<nowiki>http://www.rarewares.org/</nowiki>

Becomes [http://www.rarewares.org/ The best audio resource on the net]
=Lists=
==Bullet lists==
You can make bullet lists with "*".
<nowiki>* First level list object</nowiki>
<nowiki>** Second level list object</nowiki>

<nowiki>* Another first level list object</nowiki>
* First level list object
** Second level list object
*** Third level list object
* Another first level list object

<nowiki># First level list object</nowiki>
<nowiki>## Second level list object</nowiki>
<nowiki>### Third level list object</nowiki>
<nowiki># Another first level list object</nowiki>
# First level list object
## Second level list object
### Third level list object
# Another first level list object
==Mixed lists==

=Images=
You can insert images using the syntax:
<nowiki>[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]</nowiki>
The last item added will always be considered the caption text.
==Stans alone image==
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]</nowiki>
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]
==Stans alone image with alt-text==
You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]
==Image options==
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]
; thumbnail, thumb
: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
: Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
: If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
: Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
; right
: Makes the image right-aligned.
; left
: Same as above, but left aligned.
; center
: Same as above, but centered.
; none
: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|frame|The HA logo]]
; frame
: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
: Example to the right:
; ''size''px
: Renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
: Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
: This allows both size reduction and enlargement.
; Combining options
: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]

=Additional hints=
You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.
