Star Wars Fanon:Coding Tutorial

The Coding Encyclopedia, is an encyclopedia created by Marek "Mighty" Joesph as a reference guide for free use to use wiki-style coding. Unlike most encyclopedias, this one is not organized in alphabetical order, but categorized by what the code is made to do. This encyclopedia was originally made in responce to the Help Wiki and how difficult it was to find a specfic article that contained the required the needed information. This encyclopedia also includes a sandbox section for users to try what they learned in the encyclopedia. This encyclopedia is currently in production and can be altered by anyone so long as their information is accurate.

Note:HTML and CSS codes are not explained here.

Headers
This section explains how to place headers on an article.

To create a header, type in desired text and place two equal signs on each side of the text for a Level Two header.

The more equal signs you place on a header, the smaller the header will get. For example, three equal signs will create a Level Three header and four equal signs to get a Level Four header.

This pattern continues to a Level Six header, although due to the Monaco skin style, it is not reccomended to use small headers excessivly because of their oddly small size.

Links
This section explains how to change text into links in articles.

Internal Links
Internal links are links that "link" to other pages within the wikia wiki of current usage.

To create an internal link, enter the desired text and place two two-pronged brackets on each side of the text   to create an internal link.

Changing Appearance of Internal Links
To change the appearance of internal links is to change the wording of the link itself, while having it link to the same place.

If a person links to Darth Vader, but want it to read, "Dark Lord", then the user would take  and insert a single vertical bar  after the name of the article, but inside the two pronged brackets  and then type in the desired text behind the vertical bar, but inside the two pronged brackets. The final code will look like this:.

Changing Appearance of External Links
To change the appearance of external links is to change the wording of the link itself, while having it link to the same place.

If a person links to Google, but wants it to read, "Search Engine", then the user would take and place a single space after the web address but before the single two pronged bracket and type "Search Engine" after the space. The final code will look like:

Linking to Wookiepedia
Note: This only works on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki.

This particular wikia wiki has a special form of linking to Wookiepedia without going through the time consuming process of external linking.

To link to Wookiepedia, start by placing two three-pronged brackets, two left and two right, and typing in the name of the desired article on Wookiepedia between them. Next place a single vertical bar in front of the name of the article. Then before the bar, but within the brackets, type in the letters. The final code should look like:
