=== TUFLOW commands ===
For control file commands use a green true type font for example:
<pre>'<font color="green"><tt>Read TUFLOW Command == </tt></font>'</pre>
displays as:
<font color="green"><tt>Read TUFLOW Command == </tt></font>

=== Images ===
Images need to be uploaded through the Upload File option in the left navigation page. For example I have uploaded a file called: CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg
 
This file can be embedded in a page using an internal file link:<br>
<pre>[[File:CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg]]</pre>
This shows the image at original resolution, to resize use:<br>
<pre>[[File:CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg|500px]]</pre>
 
Gives the following image:
 
[[File:CrossHair Cell Selection.jpg|500px]]

You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two pairs of single quotes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.

== HTML symbols ==
An HTML symbol entity is a sequence of characters that produces one particular character. For example, <code>&amp;rarr;</code> produces a right arrow "<code>&rarr;</code>" and <code>&amp;mdash;</code> produces an em dash "<code>&mdash;</code>". HTML symbol entities are allowed in MediaWiki and are sometimes used in advanced editing for two main reasons: to insert characters not normally available on keyboards:
 
:<tt>&amp;copy;</tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''&copy;'''
:<tt>&amp;delta;</tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''&delta;'''
 
and to prevent the parser from interpreting and displaying HTML tags and symbols:
 
:<tt>&amp;amp;euro;</tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''<tt>&amp;euro;</tt>'''
:<tt>&amp;euro;</tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''&euro;'''
 
:<tt>&amp;lt;span style="color:green;">Green&amp;lt;/span></tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''<tt>&lt;span style="color:green;">Green&lt;/span></tt>'''
:<tt>&lt;span style="color:green;">Green&lt;/span></tt>&nbsp;&rarr; '''<span style="color:green;">Green</span>'''
 
 
== Other formatting ==
Beyond the text formatting markup shown above, here are some other formatting references:
