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~~, `inline code`

bold, italics, both, struck through, inline code

Headers

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

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

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  |

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
