Pictures / Images
Before uploading a picture verify that IT IS NOT A BIG FILE (any pictures taken from digital cameras nowadays generate very big files). Crop the pictures or reduce the size to NO MORE THEN 100 KB. Upload the file(s) to the page and then create a link using the following syntax:
[[image image-source ]]
[[f>image image-source ]] - right-float table of contents
[[f<image image-source ]] - left-float table of contents
To create a image list use:
[[gallery size="image-size"]]
: image-source1
: image-source2
...
[[/gallery]]
Image size can be: "square", "thumbnail", "small", "medium".
Tables
You can create simple tables using pairs of vertical bars:
||~ head 1 ||~ head 2 ||~ head 3 ||
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 ||
|||| long cell 4 || cell 5 ||
||cell 6 |||| long cell 7 ||
|||||| looong cell 8||
head 1 | head 2 | head 3 |
---|---|---|
cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
long cell 4 | cell 5 | |
cell 6 | long cell 7 | |
looong cell 8 |
|| lines must start and end || with double vertical bars || nothing ||
|| cells are separated by || double vertical bars || nothing ||
|||| you can span multiple columns by || starting each cell ||
|| with extra cell |||| separators ||
|||||| but perhaps an example is _
the easiest way to see ||

Headings
To make a heading start a line with a "plus". Make as many pluses as the heading level you want to get.
+ Level 1 Heading
++ Level 2 Heading
+++ Level 3 Heading
++++ Level 4 Heading
+++++ Level 5 Heading
++++++ Level 6 Heading
Table of Contents
To create a list of every heading, with a link to that heading, put a table of contents tag on its own line.
[[toc]]
[[f>toc]] - right-float table of contents
[[f<toc]] - left-float table of contents
