another "still-much-to-do" page with wiki markup and other tips for editing wiki pages
== General ==
=== May I edit pages without signing in? ===
Yes, you may (mainly because we are still glad if the users who hate signing in can nevertheless contribute), but you are highly <b>discouraged</b> to do so. Please, sign in before contributing if possible. Even if you use a username/nickname with no resemblance to your real name, this is still better than not signing in at all.
=== Most important wiki markup commands ===
* <code><nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki></code> - '''Bold text'''
* <code><nowiki>''Italic text''</nowiki></code> - ''Italic text''
* <code><nowiki><context></nowiki></code>Rendered by \ConTeXt<code><nowiki></context></nowiki></code> - <context>Rendered by \ConTeXt</context>
* <code><nowiki><texcode></nowiki></code>Highlighted text (used for \TeX)<code><nowiki></texcode></nowiki></code> - <texcode>Highlighted text (used for \TeX)</texcode>
{{todo|Add more commands}}
=== How do I sign when posting a comment? ===
* <code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code> will expand into <nowiki>[[User:Yourusername|Yournickname]]</nowiki>, so basically your <b>nickname</b> will be shown
* <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> will also add a <b>timestamp</b> next to your nickname
So you will usually write <code><nowiki>--~~~</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>

== Categories & Templates ==
=== How to add a category? ===
=== How to add a template? ===
