But if you do want to get a bit crazy and mix things up a bit with some links or a heading or 2, then the following should hopefully explain how to add them.

Headings

Headings can by done by putting on a line by itself the following.

== Heading ==

For smaller subheadings etc...use either "===" or "===="

Lists

A list of items can be created by adding an asterix "*" at the start of the line.

* Apples
* Pears
* Bananas

• Apples
• Pears
• Bananas

You can nest several levels of lists by putting the appropriate number of asterixes to indicate what level the list item is at.

* First level
** Second level
*** Third level

• First level
  • Second level
    • Third level

If you want to have an ordered list, use a hash "#" instead of the asterix.

# Apples
# Pears
# Bananas

1. Apples
2. Pears
3. Bananas

You can have a mixture of ordered and unordered lists by putting more than one # or * on each line.

Links

To link to a page outside of the wiki enclose the URL inside square brackets. ie [http://www.ifis.org.uk/]. To give the link an appropriate piece of text for the link, put the title inside the square brackets after the URL like so [http://www.ifis.org.uk/ IFIS].

If you want to force a word or phrase to link to it's page in the wiki, enclose it in two pairs of square brackets, [[Apples]]. You can change the text used in the link by putting the new title after the page name and a pipe (|) character, [[Apples|Pears]]

You can link to an author in the library by putting their name prefixed with "author:" inside [[ ]] . For example [[author:Charles Stross]] would appear like Charles Stross. You can again change the text of the link by putting a | and then the text you want, which is useful if you want to refer to the author by their first or last name only. This is also possible for members of the society, but instead of putting [[author:Name]] you can put [[person:Name]].

Other formatting

Four or more dashes indicates that a horizontal line should be drawn

---

To make something appear emphasised enclose it with a pair of single quotes either side; ie ''like this''. For greater emphasis increase the single quotes to 3 each side.

If there is anything other types of formatting that are needed, contact the webmaster with your suggestion.
