Tables

Put pipe symbols	Like " | "
Between table elements	On each row
And at the beginning and the end	Of every row

To make header lines on tables, use "|=" in front of each header element:

Like	This	Header	Line

to be blockquoted

Redirection and Transclusion

• To forward hits to a different ZhurnalyWiki page, put #REDIRECT [[New Page Name]] on the first line of the old page
• To include (aka "transclude") the contents of another page, use <include "Page Name">

Definition Lists

To make a Definition List

begin a line with ; followed by the word(s) to be defined, and on the next line put : followed by the definition(s)

Images

• To insert an image, write its URL, as in http://zhurnaly.com/images/zh.gif =
• To handle image labels and links, as per the Oddmuse Image Extension use pipes to separate image URL, label, and link URL, as in [[image:http://zhurnaly.com/images/Birds_Kennedy_Center_Terrace_Sunset.jpg_t.jpg|Birdy Sunset|http://zhurnaly.com/images/Birds_Kennedy_Center_Terrace_Sunset.jpg]] which results in the small thumbnail-image with label "Birdy Sunset" as a clickable link to the corresponding big image:

• Administrators can upload images or other materials to ZhurnalWiki pages via a "Replace this page with file" link during page editing; image files can then be displayed via something like [[image:Image_Page_Name_Here]]
