=== Maths formulas ===

… can be used {{w|Help:Displaying a formula|like in Wikipedia}}. For inline math, start it with <code>~~{{^(}}~~math~~{{)^}}~~</code> and end it with <code>~~{{^(}}~~/math~~{{)^}}~~</code>. For example: <math>V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3</math>. For display-style math, open and close the formulas with both <code><nowiki>$$</nowiki></code>; this will render it centered in a new line.

=== Table of contents ===

Place <code><nowiki~~>__TOC__<~~/~~nowiki~~></code> where you wish to place the table of contents, mostly this will be at the top of the page.

Place <code>__<nowiki />TOC__</code> where you wish to place the table of contents, mostly this will be at the top of the page.

=== ~~References~~ ===

=== Notes and references ===

A reference mark is added by <code>~~{{^(}}~~ref~~{{)^}}~~</code> and <code>~~{{^(}}~~/ref~~{{)^}}~~</code> parenthesising the reference text. The reference texts are shown in the bottom of the article by default; ~~you can optionally~~ insert <~~code~~>~~{{^(}}~~references /~~{{)^}}~~</~~code~~> where you wish to show them.

A reference mark is added by <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> parenthesising the reference text.

The reference texts are shown in the bottom of the article by default; though it is preferable to insert:

<pre>

== References ==

</pre>

where you wish to show them.

For footnotes, the practice is similar. Insert the text in the note itself between <code><nowiki><ref group="note"></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code>.

For pages with footnotes and references, place:

<pre>

== References ==

</pre>

before the References section.

References can be reused throughout an article by giving then names. The first time this reference is used, type the full text of the note or reference between the tags (<code><nowiki><ref name="example1">Note 1</ref></nowiki></code>). If you want to reference <code>example1</code> multiple times in the same page, type <code><nowiki><ref name="example1" /></nowiki></code> on all subsequent instances.
