I haven't the foggiest idea how to use this website, and in about 3 months time I will be expected to author and submit a full book chapter and multimedia presentation using it. Brilliant. Guess I'd better get started on learning then.

First Attempts (or rather, inevitable failures) at Bold and Italics
"'Apparently this is supposed to make the text bold'" "All these speech marks feel really silly. I hope they're working. I hope this line turns out italic."

I'm sufficiently confused now, because apparently that didn't work. If I can't even get basic formatting right, what hope do I have for a well-presented chapter?

This sandbox wiki is terrible
I'm serious. It's awful. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Adf001 (discuss • contribs) 19:03, 15 August 2015 (UTC+10) - This is supposed to be a timestamp. I doubt it will work, but who knows?

Hooray, success!!! And all it took was four of those little approximate signs. The timestamp was the wrong timezone though, so I've just manually fixed it. That will be a damn pain to do in the future. I should probably see if there's a way to fix that.

So the question remains, how the hell do you do italics and bold text? Does this work?

YAY! So three single quotation marks, rather than a double and a single or vice versa, make things bold, I guess. And that means that the rest of this line should, logically, be in italics.
