Started to add pnut.io-specific and wiki-specific items
{{Template:Banner|'''?'''|Need to add markup definition to allow linking to pnut hashtags, usernames, conversations, etc.}}
== A <strike>short</strike> guide to formatting text for this Wiki wiki ==It’s not necessary to learn a complex markup language to create good-looking wiki pages. MediaWiki markup is different to DokuWiki markup and both are, of course, different to Markdown. Plain text will work just as well as something with too much effort expended. Content to create useful, informative content; content beats form every time.
The toolbar at the top of the editing area is very useful and transforms a previously arcane art into something akin to using a simple text editor to create, er… complex things. What follows is a guide for those who wish to delve deeper and for those who wish to apply consistent styling across this wiki.
=== Things to remember ===
# Use When you're editing use the Preview button. Use it often. The preview button is your friend.# Look If all else fails look at someone else’s page for clues.# Don’t be frightened to break something, it changes can be reverted if necessary.
# Try not to break anything (see the first edict above.)

== Formatting help specific to this network and this wiki ==
It may seem a bit odd to launch straight into the specifics first, but this part is possibly going to be referred to by most once familiar with the basics. Scroll for the [[Help:StyleGuide#Basic_styles|Basic Styles section.]]
=== Hashtag at pnut.io, example ===
<code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/tags/{tag} tag]</nowiki></code> - for example, <code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/tags/ThemeMonday #ThemeMonday]</nowiki></code> - gives [https://pnut.io/tags/ThemeMonday #ThemeMonday]
=== Username at pnut.io, example ===
<code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/{@username} @username]</nowiki></code> - for example, <code><nowiki>[https://pnut.io/@pnut @pnut]</nowiki></code> - gives [https://pnut.io/@pnut @pnut]

== Basic formatting ==
=== Section headings ===
Wiki pages with friendlier names, e.g. [[History|The past is past]], with a pipe between URL and text: <pre>[[History|The past is past]]</pre>
External pages, just type the URL, e.g. https://pnut.io: <pre>https://pnut.io</pre>
External Pages with friendlier names e.g. [https://pnut.io is a nice site], with a space between URL and text: <pre>[https://pnut.io is a nice site]</pre>
