== Formatting Pages in the Phoebe Notepad ==
[[PageOutline(3-4,On this page:,”inline”)]]

These guidelines are a shortened version of the Trac WikiFormatting page. Use your browser’s Print button or File menu to print them for easy reference.

=== Font Styles ===

These are the formatting features which you’re most likely to need:

{{{
 * '''bold'''
 * ''italic''
 * '''''bold italic'''''
 * __underline__
}}}

Display:
 * '''bold'''
 * ''italic''
 * '''''bold italic'''''
 * __underline__

=== Paragraphs ===

To start a new paragraph, you must leave at least one blank line after the previous one.

However, you can “force” a line break like this:
{{{
Line 1[[BR]]Line 2
}}}
Displays:

Line 1[[BR]]Line 2

=== Headings ===
To create a heading, start a line with one up to five ''equals'' signs (“=”), followed by a single space and the heading text. The text should end with a space, followed by the same number of “=” characters.

''Note: Heading levels 1 and 2 are already used in the Notepad titles, so start at level 3.''

Example:
{{{
== Heading level 2 ==
=== Heading level 3 ===
}}}

Display:
== Heading level 2 ==
=== Heading level 3 ===

== Lists ==

The wiki supports both “bulleted” and numbered lists.

Example:
{{{
 * Item 1
   * Item 1.1
 * Item 2

 1. Item 1
   1. Item 1.1
 1. Item 2
}}}

Display:
 * Item 1
   * Item 1.1
 * Item 2

 1. Item 1
   1. Item 1.1
 1. Item 2

''Note: There must be one or more spaces preceding the list item markers; otherwise the list will be treated as a normal paragraph.''

== Indenting text ==

To indent a paragraph, start it with a space.

Example:
{{{
 This text is a quote from someone else.
}}}

Displays:
 This text is a quote from someone else.

== Tables ==

Simple tables can be created like this:
{{{
||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||
}}}

Display:
||Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3||
||Cell 4||Cell 5||Cell 6||

=== Links ===
To create a link to another Website, simply type the URL.

Example:
{{{
http://www.google.co.uk
}}}

Displays:
http://www.google.co.uk

To use a descriptive word or phrase rather than displaying the URL, type the URL, followed by a space and the description, and enclose them all in square brackets.

Example:
{{{
Use a search engine such as [http://www.google.co.uk Google].
}}}

Displays:
Use a search engine such as [http://www.google.co.uk Google].

''Note: If you need to type a word in !CamelCase (e.g. !PowerPoint), then you __must__ place an exclamation mark in front of the word. Otherwise, the wiki technology underlying Phoebe will treat it as a link to another, but non-existent, page in Phoebe – with unpredictable results.''

=== Horizontal lines ===
To draw a horizontal line across the page, type four or more dashes by themselves on a line.

Example:
{{{
 ----
}}}

Displays:
----

=== Images ===
We do not recommend inserting images into the Phoebe Notepad.
