UCSC's 2009-2010 Creative Writing Program Wiki:Sandbox

This page is for any tests.

Welcome to the sandbox!

Anyone can edit this.

Simple Editing
To edit a page, click on the "edit" tab, usually near the top of the page. Then, edit the box in the page. Feel free to practice here, on this page. It's here just for you to practice.

A blank line indicates a paragraph separation.

You can link to another page by putting the name or title of that page in double square brackets. Main Page becomes Main Page.

Simple Formatting
Create headers by putting text inbetween repeated equal (=) signs. The more =, the lower level the heading is.

Create a bulleted list by starting each item with an asterisk (*)
 * it's ok to make editing mistakes
 * you can preview your work before saving it
 * even after saving it, you or someone else can edit it again to make it even better

Formatting for Emphasis
Put single quote marks around words or phrases for formatting emphasis.

Two single quotes, like italics will create italics.

Three single quotes, like bold text will create bold text.

Other stuff...

If you know HTML or CSS formatting commands, they can also be used in this wiki. One useful HTML command is which creates a line break.

If you want to show what a command looks like, rather than actually implementing the command, surround it with the nowiki command.
