Clicklaw Wikibooks uses wiki codes, a relatively simple markup language, to present the headings, lists, indented paragraphs and other formatting that give form and structure to a wiki page. For example, to make a numbered list, you put each item on a separate line and start the line with a pound symbol:

The [[Clicklaw Wikibooks Cheatsheet]] features the key wiki codes. Also available is a [[Clicklaw Wikibooks Style Guide]] that highlights key style and word usage for Clicklaw Wikibooks.

For contributors updating resources for the guide [[Legal Help for British Columbians]], please see the explanatory note on the [[Talk:Resource List|Resource List discussion page]]. (Resources are managed as individual pages that are then automatically consolidated on a single [[Resource List]].)
