==Lists==
You can create an unordered or ordered lists using {{*}} and {{#}} characters, for example:

<table class="generic">
<tr class="tableheader">
<th>WikiMarkup</th><th>Output</th><th>Notes</th>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td>@@* List element
* Another element,
which continues on a new line
* A third element

@@</td><td>
* List element
* Another element,
which continues on a new line
* A third element

</td><td>Always keep an empty line after a list</td></tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td>@@# List element
# Another element,
which continues on a new line
# A third element

@@</td><td>
# List element
# Another element,
which continues on a new line
# A third element

</td><td>Always keep an empty line after a list</td></tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td>@@* List element
*# Sub-element,
which continues on a new line
*# Still a sub-list
* A third element

@@</td><td>
* List element
*# Sub-element,
which continues on a new line
*# Still a sub-list
* A third element

</td><td>You can combine {{*}} and {{#}}</td></tr>
</table>

==File Links and Pictures==

<table class="generictable">
<tr class="tableheader">
<th>WikiMarkup</th><th>Output</th><th>Notes</th>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td>{{<nowiki>[{UP}/v3Site/Grass.png|download image]</nowiki>}}</td><td>[{UP}/v3Site/Grass.png|download image]</td><td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr class="tablerow">
<td>{{<nowiki>[{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture.jpg|download attachment]</nowiki>}}</td><td>[{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture.jpg|download attachment]</td><td>{{Help.WikiMarkup}} is the full name of this page and the ''SamplePicture.jpg'' file is an attachment of this page</td>
</tr>
</table>

===Displaying Pictures===
[imageright|Sample Picture Caption|{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture-Small.jpg|{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture.jpg]
{{<nowiki>[imageright|Sample Picture Caption|{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture-Small.jpg|{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture.jpg]</nowiki>}} generates:

{{imageleft}} aligns the image on the left; {{imageauto}} sets no alignment; {{image}} produces no border nor caption.

The caption is optional, as well as the link ({{<nowiki>{UP(Help.WikiMarkup)}SamplePicture.jpg</nowiki>}} in the example above). The link can be any type of link (page, URL, email, file/attachment, etc.).

==Special Tags==
All Special Tags are ''case insensitive''.

<table class="generictable">
<tr class="tableheader">
<th>WikiMarkup</th><th>Output</th><th>Notes</th>

==Escaping Content==
There are two ways to escape content that is usually interpreted by the ''WikiMarkup'' formatter.

This will simply ignore any ''WikiMarkup'' wrapped in it:

{{&lt;nowiki&gt;<nowiki>[this would be a link]</nowiki>&lt;/nowiki&gt;}} results in <nowiki>[this would be a link]</nowiki>

This will escape all special characters, so they are displayed on the screen:

{{&lt;esc&gt;<esc><b>some HTML</b></esc>&lt;/esc&gt;}} results in <esc><b>some HTML</b></esc>

This will ignore any new-line wrapped in it:

{{{{&lt;nobr&gt;some content

and then some more&lt;/nobr&gt;}}}}

results in

some content and then some more
