 +[[wiki:syntax|There is a detailed tutorial here.]]
 +
 +If you create a new page, be sure to stick this at the bottom (it is convenient):
 +<code>
 +----
 +Back to [[Start]] Page
 +</code>
 +Result:\\

 +==== How to create a carriage return ====
 +
 +You can create one by either double spacing (that is, putting a blank line between the lines of text), or like this:
 +<code>
 +Put two backslash characters: \\ at the end of your line
 +</code>
 +Effect:\\
 +First Line\\
 +Second Line
 +
 +
 +==== How To Create a Page Link ====
 +
 +If you want to create a link to text in the page, try this:
 +
 +<code>
 +Here is your link code - swap "wiki_tips" for the name of the page:
 +[[wiki_tips#A_Header]]
 +[[wiki_tips#Another_Header]]
 +
 +
 +Finally, create a header somewhere; headers are also link anchors:
 +(A Header has at least two equal signs around it.)  //You can only link to headers.//
 +===A Header===\\
 +==Another Header==
 +</code>
 +
 +Result:\\
 +[[wiki_tips#A_Header]]\\
 +[[wiki_tips#Another_Header]]
 +
 +===A Header===
 +==Another Header==
 +
 +==== How to Post Code ====
 +
 +Now, you can't just plop your tex code onto the page, else the wiki will interpret it as wiki formatting code.\\
 +Instead, put your code in code tags like these <html><code lua>  ...  </code></html>\\
 +Whatever is between the code tags will get rendered literally, and some bit of colour syntax highlighting will even get applied!
 +
 +If you just want to "codify" inline, a single character or word, wrap the words in html tags: <code><html>some word</html></code> 
 +...but be sure to close it.  The effect is <html>like this</html>.
 +
 +
 +==== How to Colour Your Text ====
 +To colour your text, use <html><color></html> tags:
 +<code>
 +<color blue>Blue Text</color>
 +<color /lightgrey>Text with Background Colour</color>
 +<color blue/lightgrey>Blue Text with Background Colour</color>
 +</code>
 +Result:\\
 +<color blue>Blue Text</color>\\
 +<color /lightgrey>Text with Background Colour</color>\\
 +<color blue/lightgrey>Blue Text with Background Colour</color>
