Welcome to this guide! If you're wondering how a lot of really common things like tables and formatting should be done on Linguifex, wonder no longer! This guide will hopefully be helpful for those who have no prior experience with Wiki editing.

If you're wondering how anything on this page is done, feel free to click Edit above in the top right corner (next to "View History"). Just make sure to not delete anything and then save the changes. But we can rectify that easily if it does happen.

There is also a nice little Edit button next to all section headers.

Table of Contents

This should be generated once you have enough section headers. How do you start a new section? By making a header! How do you do that? Like so!

=Header 1=
==Header 2==
===Header 3===
====Header 4====

Less highly ranked headers and their following sections will be nested within higher ranked sections. So Header 2 will appear as a subsection of Header 1's section.


Tables

Tables in HTML and Wiki format are always less intuitive than using a word processor or something like that. But you do have similar control. But you should plan your tables accordingly ahead of time, making sure they're formatted in a sane way you can easily make changes to later.

Pre-formatted

Let's say you just want a simple table right now, you can do that easily just by going up to the top of the Linguifex editor pane, and clicking Advanced. At the very end of the icons that have now popped up, there is a table icon (as of 08:37, 9 March 2017 (CET) at least)
