| − | This is a Wiki. A Wiki is a webpage which can be edited by anyone who (in this case) has an account. The main page should cover a lot of ground in explaining what's going on here; any other questions could probably be posted in [http://forum.rpg.net/forumdisplay.php?f=7 RPGnet Forums] - at least until someone smarter than me gets a better help page up here.
| |
| | | | |
| − | If you want to contribute to the Wiki, first, look around to see what's on here. Certain things don't go here - like, if you want to talk about <i>Exalted</i>, do that on forum.rpg.net. If you want to make an unofficial SUPPLEMENT for Exalted, that can go here - so long as you accept that others can edit your work.

| |
| − | Formatting tags used in the RPGnet forums don't work here, so if you want your italics and your bold and your underlines and your header-sized text, you'll have to use HTML code - which is very similar to the forum's code, but slightly different. For example:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <B>Bold text</B> is done by typing < B >Bold Text< /B >, without the spaces between the brackets and the other characters. Italics is done the same, except there's an I instead of a B, and with underline you use U.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Header 1 sized text (very large) is done by typing < H1 >Header 1 sized text < /H1 >, without the spaces in the brackets. You can use a 2, 3, 4, or 5 in place of the "1" in "H1" to have smaller header-sized text. H1 & H2 create a vertical bar under the title, when used in Wikis (though this is not true for all HTML coded pages).

| − | First a general note on editing Wiki pages: ''The Preview Button is your friend.'' Use it often.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are also Wiki-specific tags and quoting methods that you can use, or you can use the buttons at the top of the edit pane. To use those, simply highlight the section of text you want to change, then hit the button: ''italic'', '''bold''', and so on.

| − |
| |
| − | Here's a summary of the in-line editing tags:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Two single quotes means ''italic'' text:
| |
| − | ’’emphasize this’’ => ''emphasize this''
| |
| − | * ''Three'' single quotes means '''Bold''' text:
| |
| − | ’’’really emphasize this’’’ => '''really emphasize this'''
| |
| − | * Headings are set off with equal signs:
| |
| − | = =Heading 1= =
| |
| − | == ==Heading 2== ==
| |
| − | === ===Heading 3=== ===
| |
| − | (Note that the equal signs won't usually show up in the final page)
| |
| − | * Three tildes put in a signature:
| |
| − | ˜˜˜ => [[User:Knockwood|Lord Knockwood the Mad]]
| |
| − | * Four tildes include a timestamp:
| |
| − | ˜˜˜˜ => [[User:Knockwood|Lord Knockwood the Mad]] 20:35, 15 May 2005 (PDT)
| |
| − | * List members (like this) are set off by asterisks:
| |
| − | ** Sub-lists are set off by multiple asterisks:
| |
| − | * List Item
| |
| − | ** Sub-list item
| |
| − | # Numbered lists are set off by hash marks:
| |
| − | # Item 1
| |
| − | * Horizontal rules are created by four dashes at the left margin
| |
| − | ;Definitions:such as this one, are set up with a semicolon (starting at the left margin) and colons, like so:
| |
| − | ;Term:Definition of term
| |
| − | :continued definition, if necessary
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Links'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Internal:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Set off by doubled square brackets:
| |
| − | [ [RPG_Lexica:Main_Page] ] => [[RPG_Lexica:Main_Page]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alternate text for the link can be put after a vertical bar:
| |
| − | [ [RPG_Lexica:Main_Page|The RPG Lexica Project] ] => [[RPG_Lexica:Main_Page|The RPG Lexica Project]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''External'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Automatically recognized by the http prefix: http://www.yahoo.com
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alternatively, you can put it in square brackets, followed by a space, and the alternate text:
| |
| − | <nowiki>[http://www.yahoo.com Yahoo!]</nowiki> => [http://www.yahoo.com Yahoo!]
| |
