Introduction
Text formatting on Wakka slightly differs from other Wikis. Anything between 2 sets of double quotes is ignored and presented exactly as typed.
Test your formatting skills in the
SandBox.
Basic formatting:
**I'm bold text!**
I'm bold text!
//I'm italicized text.//
I'm italicized text.
And I'm __underlined__!
And I'm underlined!
##monospace (10) text##
monospace 10 text
''note''

Horizontal separator:
----
Note: you must place this at the end of the last line before the seperation (if you want to retain indentation) or the very beginning of the new line (if you want the seperator to be as wide as the whole page). Otherwise, it results in a bullet and a line-break.
