This may eventually grow into something worth moving into a new "Help:" ... but it has a hell of a long way to go first.

In this page you'll learn about Mediawiki markup. Mediawiki is the software behind Wikipedia (for which it was created), Camera-wiki.org, and many other wikis; you may find what follows familiar from one of these. And if you're used to HTML or XHTML, what the explanation will be easy to follow, as Mediawiki is a preprocessor for XHTML and its markup is thus similar.

Text formatting
