Format Guidelines for PSUGCAL

These are guidelines to making PSUGCal.org pages look consistent and to help with Wiki formatting in general.

Contents

Page Names and Titles

Pages will automatically inherit the page name as their title. If you're creating a new page, choose a name with that in mind. The pages will automatically alphabetize in the Content Directory, so choose names that users would logically expect to find them under. Examples:

• Customization
• Health
• GPA

Adding pages to the Content Directory

To automatically have a page be listed in the Content Directory, add this code to any part of your page:

[[Category:Contents]]

Basic Text Formatting

Code	Result
''italic''	italic
'''bold'''	bold
'''''bold and italic'''''	bold and italic
<nowiki>no ''markup''</nowiki>	no ''markup''

Headings

Wiki pages look best when organized with headings, like the one above this line. Use at most Level 2 and Level 3 headers. (Consider the Title of the Page Level 1). Here is the wiki code for creating the headings:

Code	Result
== Header Level 2 == === Header Level 3 ===	Header Level 2 Header Level 3

A page with 4 or more headings will automatically create a table of contents
