{{HelpToC}}
To format pages on Coppermind a basic wiki markup language is used. Below you can find the most common and useful features. For more details, see Wikipedia's Help page on [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Markup].

=== Internal Links ===
An '''internal link''', or '''wikilink''', is a direct link to another article on Coppermind. Just use double brackets (<code>[[</code> and <code>]]</code>) around the article name. Remember, ''case matters'' with article titles.
;Basic
: <code><nowiki>[[
;Blend Link
;Link to pages on other namespaces
: The methods above assume you're linking to simple articles (on the "main" [[:Help:Namespaces|namespace]]). If you want to link to a page on another
: <code><nowiki>[[:Help:Contents]]</nowiki></code> produces [[:Help:Contents]], which links to the "Contents" page on the Help namespace.
: <code><nowiki>[[:User:Fbstj|Joe]]</nowiki></code> produces [[:User:Fbstj|Joe]], which links to FBstj's
: <code><nowiki>[[:File:Roshar.jpg|Roshar Map]]</nowiki></code> produces [[:File:Roshar.jpg|Roshar Map]], which links to the "Roshar.jpg" File page.
: <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Cosmere]]</nowiki></code> produces [[:Category:Cosmere]], which links to the "Cosmere" Category page.
=== External Links ===
'''External links''' point to somewhere outside of Coppermind.
;Bare External Link▼
: Simply type the URL for a bare external link. This method should be avoided.▼
: <code><nowiki>http://www.google.com</nowiki></code> produces http://www.google.com.▼
;Unnamed External Link
: Follow the URL with a space and some other text to rename the link. ''This is the preferred method.''
: <code><nowiki>[http://www.google.com Google]</nowiki></code> produces [http://www.google.com Google].
;Wikipedia Link
: Use double bracket followed by the article name, then how you wish for the link to appear.
: <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Google|Google]]</nowiki></code> produces [[wikipedia:Google|Google]].
▲;Bare External Link

== References & Citations ==
== Other Tricks ==
;Username and timestamp
: Use four
== Ignore Markup ==
;<code><nowiki></code> Tag
: Surround the text with <code><nowiki></code> and <code></nowiki></code> to ignore markup.
: <
: <code><nowiki><nowiki><small>''small, italic text''</small></nowiki></nowiki></code> produces <nowiki><small>''small, italic text''</small></nowiki>.
;<code><pre></code> Tag
: It behaves the same as <code><nowiki></code>, but also allows mono-spaced font and preserves spacing.
