Markdown Guide

A quick reference for the markdown used on wiki pages, character/dragon pages and off-game scenes. Everything here shows the syntax in a code box, followed by how it renders.

Paragraphs

Separate paragraphs with a blank line. Single line breaks within a paragraph are joined together.

Emphasis

**bold**, *italics*, ***both***, ~~struck through~~, ==highlighted==,
^superscript^, ~subscript~, `inline code`

bold, italics, both, struck through, highlighted, ^superscript, _subscript, inline code

Quotes and dashes are typographically smartened automatically – like that.

Headers

## Section
### Subsection
#### Sub-subsection

Use ## and deeper on your pages - a single # competes with the page title.

Table of contents

Put [TOC] on its own line anywhere and a linked table of contents is built from your headers - handy on long lore pages.

Call-out boxes

!!! note "A note on klah"
    Indent the box's content four spaces.
    It can span multiple paragraphs.

The types note, tip, warning and danger get colored accents; anything else renders as a plain box.

Tabbed sections

=== "Rumors"
    - She is naive. Easily misled.
    - Assumed she is a refugee.

=== "Common Knowledge"
    Everyone agrees her klah is undrinkable.

Each === "Title" starts a tab; indent the tab’s content four spaces. Consecutive tabs form one tab set (up to eight tabs); a blank unindented line ends the set.

Lists

- unordered item
- another
    - nested (indent four spaces)

1. ordered item
2. another

• unordered item
• another
  • nested (indent four spaces)

1. ordered item
2. another

Links

[link text](https://example.com)
[[Styling Guide]] or [[Styling Guide|a wikilink with display text]]

link text, and wikilinks: Styling Guide or a wikilink with display text. Wikilinks to pages that don’t exist yet offer to create them.

Images

![a caption](https://example.com/image.png)

Images scale down to fit the page automatically.

Blockquotes

> Somebody said this once.
> It was memorable.

Somebody said this once. It was memorable.

Tables

| Name  | Color  |
| ----- | ------ |
| Pip   | green  |
| Aurum | gold   |

Name	Color
Pip	green
Aurum	gold

Code blocks

Fence longer code or verbatim text with triple backticks. Anything in a code box renders exactly as written - wikilinks and embeds stay inert, which is how this page shows its examples.

Footnotes

A claim needing a source.[^1]

[^1]: The source in question.

A claim needing a source.¹
