== Basic Editing ==
 
Most simple editing (e.g. bold, italics, links, section headings, etc.) can be found in the tool bar above the editing window.  In case that does not work here is a quick run-down.
 
''italics''
<pre> ''italicize text'' by putting 2 apostrophes on each side. </pre>
 
'''bold'''
<pre>3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''.</pre>
 
Section headings (used to automatically create table of contents)
<pre> == Section Heading == by putting 2 equal signs.  More equal signs creates sub-headings.</pre>
 
Lists (unordered)
* item 1
* item 2
<pre>Are created by putting a * at the beginning of the item.  More stars created nested lists.</pre>
 
Lists (ordered)
# item 1
# item 2
<pre>Are created by putting a # at the begining of the item.  More number signs creat nested lists.</pre>
 
Super<sup>scripts</sup> and sub<sub>scripts</sub>
<pre>Super<sup>scripts</sup> and sub<sub>scripts</sub></pre>
 
== Links ==
In a wiki, there are two kinds of links; intra-wiki links (those that lead to other articles on the same wiki) and external links which lead anywhere. 
 
To add a intra-wiki link to the [[RHESSI]] wiki
<pre>surround the title of the article by [[double brackets]].  Even if the page does not exist the link will be created.</pre>
 
To add an [http://www.example.com external link]
<pre> use the syntax [http://www.example.com external link] </pre>
 
== How to add categories ==
 
Categories are used to maintain some organization to the wiki.  To add an article to a category put the following at the end of the page you are editing.
 
<nowiki>[[Category:NAME]]</nowiki>
 
where NAME is the name of the category you want to add it to.  Any number of category tags may be added to the page - the page will be listed in all of them.
