==Definition lists==

=Images=
 
You can insert images using the syntax:
 
<nowiki>[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]</nowiki>
 
The last item added will always be considered the caption text.
 
 
 
 
 
==Image without alt-text==
 
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png]]
 
 
 
 
 
==Image with alt-text==
 
You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.
 
  <nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png|The MediaWiki logo]]
 
 
 
==Image options==
 
 
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]
 
; thumbnail, thumb
 
: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
 
: Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
 
: If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
 
: Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
 
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|thumb|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
 
 
 
 
 
; right
 
: Makes the image right-aligned.
 
 
 
 
 
; left
 
: Same as above, but left aligned.
 
 
 
 
 
; center
 
: Same as above, but centered.
 
 
 
 
 
; none
 
: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.
 
 
 
 
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]
 
; frame
 
: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
 
: Example to the right:
 
 
 
 
 
; ''size''px
 
: Renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
 
: Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
 
: This allows both size reduction and enlargement.
 
 
 
 
 
; Combining options
 
: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
 
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]
 
 
 
 
 
<nowiki>[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:mediawiki.png|none|frame|The MediaWiki logo]]
 
 
 
=Tables=
 
<nowiki>{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3"</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>| 1 || 2</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>| 3 || 4</nowiki>

Our sortable tables have some custom javascript to specify which column is initially sorted. Set "id=" in the table open row to the number of the column you want sorted; the first column is 0.
 
 
 
<code><nowiki>{|</nowiki> border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" '''class="sortable" id="1"'''</code>
 
<code><nowiki>!First!!Second!!Third
 
|-
 
| 1 || 2 || 7
 
|-
 
| 3 || 4 || 8
 
|-
 
| 5 || 6 || 9
 
|}</nowiki></code>
 
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3" class="sortable" id="1"
 
!First!!Second!!Third
 
|-
 
| 1 || 2 || 7
 
|-
 
| 3 || 4 || 8

=Additional hints=
 
You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.

This is the area's category.

3k has lots, and lots of areas -- this list is (nearly always) incomplete. PLEASE UPDATE!

Use one of these tags to mark a page as an area category:

 [[Category:Chaos areas]]
 [[Category:Fantasy areas]] 
 [[Category:Science areas]] 
 [[Category:Pinnacle areas]] 
 [[Category:Newbieland areas]]

These tags directly correspond to the Realm in which the area is found.

See Help:Authoring for instructions on how to write a new page.

Some areas in chaos wander, here's a list: Wandering chaos areas.

Perhaps you'd like to browse the List of Areas which we have information about.
