[edit] Purpose

The sandbox exists for you to use to practice editing the wiki. Use it to try out different formatting techniques.

To start, click on the "edit" tab above. Then you'll see the text that creates the center pane of this page in an editable view.

If you aren't sure what to do next, see Step by Step.

[edit] Miscellaneous Formatting

Some fonts (faces) won't work on all PCs.

<font color=green size=+3 face=times>Some fonts (faces) won't work on all PCs.</font>

[edit] pictures

First see guidelines for images from other sites. It is not ok to link to images that are still on other site. To include a picture or image:

1. Get permission from the person who has the copyright. If you created it, you have the copyright and can post it here, IF it's ok for everyone else to use it for free.
2. Upload the file using the link in the toolbox (usually on the left hand side of the screen)
3. Fill out the information about where the image comes from and who gave permission for it to be here.
4. Use it. See examples below:

Ok. Let's see if I can repeat the smaller rainbow in the background with text and the lighthouse on top...

A list of images that are already on this site is at Special:Imagelist.

[edit] your edits here

help:editing

You can use wiki or most html commands to format your text. So '''bold''' or <b>bold</b> both create bold text.

Indent text by putting a colon (:) at the beginning of a line.

If you login, you can "sign" and date your entries by putting "~~~~" in the edits. - RJ 23:08, 24 Dec 2004 (PST)

[edit] Tables

The following are tables using wiki pipe syntax.

[edit] A Very Simple Table

column1?	column2?
next	row

which was created by {| | column1? || column2? |- | next || row |}

[edit] A Slightly More Complicated Table

This table shows a comparison between HTML and wiki pipe table formatting commands.

A More Complicated Table

	HTML"	wiki
start row	<tr>	|-
start cell	<td>	| or || (?)

[edit] Using Even More Formatting Features in a Table

Adding some color and size specifications:

Multi-line text in column one. This is just text to see what happens. More text and more text.	More multi-line text on a grey background. This table also uses variable width specifications (assuming it works).
More text in a new row.

[edit] Comments

It is useful to be able to put comments in formatting commands to remind you and help others in future editing.

/* test of css comment format */ Note: Doesn't work on the wiki.

One format that works: <!-- comment goes here - don't use a double dash within the comment -->

[edit] Playing with Style

{style="background-color:#ff22ff" Text }

Multi-line text in column one. This is just text to see what happens. More text and more text. What other formatting can I put into this box? [edit] title big bold <b>bold</b>

<style type="text/css"> </style>

created by <div style="background-color:#336699">

another try

using div and style

some possible style settings... position: absolute; left: 10px; top: 100px; </div>

[edit] div

<div style="background-color:#eeffee; font-family:arial; border: 4px solid #99ff99;">This is a demonstration</div> creates

Some div style commands

• background-color
• font-family
• position
• boarder
• padding

playing with examples (remember, this is just practice, so it might not be good or even correctly done)

<div style="background-color:#ffffff; font-family:times; font-size:+3; border: 2px solid #9900ff; padding: 10px 3px 20px">Hi!</div> creates

[edit] Categories

Members of the PurpleLightHouse guild at NeoPets came up with many of the original ideas that we are trying to implement here on the Guilds Wikia. We hope the site will evolve into something even better than those original ideas. Other guilds are welcome to contribute and to create other pages and activities on this wiki site.
