Here is some example text to show how the image interacts with a body of text. I'll just keep repeating this text so that it will form a paragraph. I could use the standard greek, but I don't like the way that reads, so I'll use this technique of babbling along. | Here is some example text to show how the image interacts with a body of text.

Other wiki markup
- Your signature: you can leave your signature on talk pages by typing 3 tildas (~~~) for just your username or 4 tildas (~~~~) if you want to add a time stamp. This will create a link to your user page. For example: Viper 18:57, 18 December 2005 (GMT)
Note: please do not sign articles.
- Redirects: it is possible to make a page automatically redirect the user to another page. The code is: #REDIRECT [[Article2]], so that when the browser hits this page, it will get redirected to "Article2". This is very useful when there are multiple terms or spellings for one topic (for example, Scarlet Woman gets redirected to Babalon).
- Lines: you can make a single line by typing four dashes (----) on its own line (i.e. not within text)
- Showing code: Any code written within the tags will show up as the code itself. Example: [[Thelema]] will show up as Thelema, not Thelema.
- Small text: text inside the <small></small> tags will display much smaller. Example: Here is some small text.
- Table of Contents: You can force a table of contents to show up anywhere on a page by typing __TOC__. You can also force a page not to show a table of contents by adding __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page.
- Hiding the edit links: Insert __NOEDITSECTION__ into the document to suppress the edit links that appear next to every section header.

HTML and CSS in articles
To a large degree, you can use HTML and CSS (cascading style sheets) in Monstropedia articles. Generally speaking, it is better to use wiki markup over HTML when there is an option (for example, it is better to use '''bold''' rather than <b>bold</b>). Also, the wiki fully supports the use of tables, although these should be used carefully and only when normal wiki markup isn't satisfactory for the job.
Using images
Using images is fairly easy. First, you must upload an image, which you can do from the "toolbox" on the left (click on "Upload file"). Before you upload an image, make sure that either: you own the image; that it is in the public domain; or that the copyright holder has agreed to license it under the GFDL. Please follow the copyright notice instructions on the upload page.
For more information on using images, see Wiki Image Markup

Frame and a caption
It is common to show images with a frame and a caption describing the image. Here is some example text to show how the image interacts with a body of text. I'll just keep repeating this text so that it will form a paragraph. I could use the standard greek, but I don't like the way that reads, so I'll use this technique of babbling along.
