Pre-formatted text
There are a number of ways to include pre-formatted text (e.g. source code fragments); all of these techniques also use a fixed-width font for the text:
- Start each line with a space character; normal markups can be used; e.g.:
" This is '''pre-formatted''' text"
produces:
This is pre-formatted text
- Use the HTML <nowiki> tag, with a space character before the <nowiki>. (Remember to add a matching closing tag after the pre-formatted text block).
- Use the HTML <pre> tag (again, remember the closing tag).
Note that the HTML <blockquote> tag only indents the block; text within it will still be justified.

produces:

Images
[[Image:Pdp1115.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Caption text]]
produces:
Leaving out the '150px' inserts the image full-size. The optional keywords 'left' and 'right' can be added to control the horizontal placement.
New images can be uploaded via the 'Upload file' page (link on the left-hand side of all pages).
