Advanced formatting

What you type	What it looks like	Description
<blockquote>Quote text. -Author</blockquote>	Quote text. -Author	Quick 'n easy way of including quotes
{{quotation |1=Quote text. |2=Author. }}	Quote text. – Author.	Fancy way of including quotes
<pre>Code to display.</pre>	Code to display.	Used for displaying the actual code without wikicu interpreting it. For example, on a Help page to show users what code has what effects.

Redirects

Redirects are used to automatically move the user from one page to another. For example, if a user types SEAS, they are first taken to the SEAS article, which instantly redirects them to the article on Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. This allows users to easily find articles without always typing the exact title of the article.

#REDIRECT [[Internal link]]
