__NOTOC__ <p>'''This is a simple Source Editor cheatsheet.''' It shows you how to use a lot of the markup needed to make an article using the Source Editor instead of the Visual Editor.</p> <p>Not all of the links will work here yet: since the wiki's still small some things like redirects won't exist as examples.</p> <p>This table was originally posted on the Rimworld Wiki, which is another MediaWiki project very similar to this one. Some links have been changed to make the table function on this wiki.</p> <p>The original page is [https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup_cheatsheet here] for those who want to see it. See also the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Reference_card MediaWiki reference card] for the official Wikimedia version.</p> {| class="wikitable" align="center" style="width:100%;" |colspan="3" align="center" style="text-align:center;" | <h2 style="margin:.5em; margin-top:.1em; margin-bottom:.1em; border-bottom:0; font-weight:bold;">Wiki markup cheatsheet</h2> |-<!--WORKS ANYWHERE IN THE TEXT--> | colspan=3 style="text-align: center;" | '''Works anywhere in the text''' |-<!--COLUMN HEADINGS--> style="padding:0.3em; font-size: 0.9em; text-align:center;" ! style="width:30%" | Description !
