The DBE Archive Wiki:Sandbox

Welcome to the Sandbox! This page is for any tests, and 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.

A blank line indicates a paragraph separation.

You can link to another page by putting its name or title in double square brackets. For example, Main Page becomes Main Page.

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

Create a bulleted list by starting each item with an asterisk (*).
 * It's okay to make editing mistakes.
 * You can preview your work before saving it.
 * And even after saving it, you or someone else can edit it again to correct mistakes and add/remove information.

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.
 * And five single quotes, like bold italics, will create bold italics.

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.
