Emphasize	''Emphasize''
Emphasize strongly	'''Emphasize strongly'''
'Emphasize very strongly'	''''Emphasize very strongly''''

New Lines

New lines are specifiy by adding a blank line in between text. Consectutive lines of text have no effect on formatting.

Alteratively you can add a <br/> tag to force a line break. Please include the slash in there as that is correct XML formatting.

Unordered Lists are easy to do: start every line with a star more stars means deeper levels A newline in a list marks the end of the list.

Images

All images have to be uploaded to be used.

To link to an image just make an internal link to it like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg]]. It is recommend that you specify alternate text by adding a piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|Frank Kozik]].

Thumnbnails

If the images are large, it is really important to use thumbnails. To this just add the piped thumb option along with a size like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px]]

By default, the thumbnail with appear on the right side of the page and the text will wrap around it. You can specify position arguments to change this.

Aligning Images

Images can be put on the left, right or center by adding the piped option like [[Image:Frank_kozik-i-1.jpg|thumb|64px|left]].

Clearing text wrapping

We have a templat to help prevent images from running into taxt that may follow it and otherwise wrap around the text.

Just add {{clr}} at the point in the document where you want the wrapping to end.
