Monospaced Plain Text
"Monospaced text" is text in which every character has the same width. For example, the edit textbox on the wiki uses monospaced text. This kind of text is ideal for drawing diagrams (see the Crossbow article for an example). To insert monospaced text on the wiki, simply put a space at the beginning of a line. Here's an example:
This is monospaced text!
Be careful not to put spaces at the beginning of lines that you don't want monospaced!
Text Formatting
To make text italic, surround it with double-apostrophes. To make text bold, surround it with triple-apostrophes. For example, ''ITALICS'' results in ITALICS and '''BOLD''' results in BOLD.
Box
You can use {{box}} and {{/box}} to create a coloured box. Use this for organization or to highlight important pieces of information. For example, the code
{{box}}This is in a box.{{/box}}
produces the following:
| id | info |
This is in a box.
