Images
Use meaningful image descriptions for accessibility.
Blockquotes
> Need one more sleeper!
> First paragraph.
>
> Second paragraph.

Inline Code
Use `/spawn` to return to spawn.
The server uses port `19132`.
Code Blocks
Use three backticks before and after code.
```text
gamemode spectator Gumdum1975
```
Add a language after the opening backticks when useful:
```php
public function welcome(): string
{
return 'Welcome to Gumdum!';
}
```
Tables
Keep every row on its own line.
| Players Online | Sleepers Needed |
| ---: | ---: |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 7 | 3 |
| 10 | 3 |
Alignment uses colons:
| Left | Center | Right |
| :--- | :---: | ---: |
| A | B | 10 |
Formatting works inside cells:
| Feature | Details |
| --- | --- |
| **Hardcore** | Monthly fresh starts |
| Website | [gumdum.com](https://gumdum.com) |
| Command | `/spawn` |
Escape a literal pipe inside a table cell with \|.
Horizontal Dividers
---
You may also use *** or ___ on a line by themselves.
Escaping Markdown
Use a backslash when a Markdown symbol should appear literally.
\*Not italic\*
\# Not a heading
\- Not a list item
Emoji
Use actual emoji directly:
🏕️ Spawn Sanctuary
🛡️ No Griefing
⚔️ PvP Off
🛏️ One Player Sleep
🏆 Leaderboards
Emoji shortcodes such as :smile: are not guaranteed to convert.
Complete Example
## 🛏️ SMP Sleep Rules
The SMP server requires approximately **30% of online players** to sleep.
### Examples

Safety
The wiki sanitizes content. Scripts, unsafe URLs, event handlers, iframes, forms, and embedded objects are removed or neutralized.
Prefer Markdown instead of raw HTML.
Not Standard GFM
These features are not guaranteed unless the wiki is extended later:
- Footnotes
- Admonitions such as
:::note - Mermaid diagrams
- LaTeX math
- Definition lists
- Emoji shortcode conversion
- Custom heading IDs such as
{#custom-id}
Quick Reference
| Feature | Syntax |
|---|---|
| Heading | ## Heading |
| Bold | **Bold** |
| Italic | *Italic* |
| Strikethrough | ~~Removed~~ |

Golden Rules
- Begin ordinary page sections with
##. - Leave blank lines around block elements.
- Keep each table row on its own line.
- Use descriptive links and image text.
- Preview before publishing.
- When SMP math fails, blame arithmetic before Markdown. 😂
