GoldToken uses Wiki Formatting instead of HTML on its pages. Special Wiki Links are in curly brackets "{ }" instead of the square brackets for links to wiki pages, and have special words that trigger them.
The secret to controlling Wiki Formatting is that everything is done through simple typing. Once you get used to how it works, it's really easy.
- To link, always begin and end each link code with a bracket.
- Add a space after the bracket at the beginning of the code.
- Add a space before the bracket at the end of the link code.
- Use a space after all : semicolons if followed by a name.
- Do not use a space if using the # sign for a number.

A few sample links that only need a space and closing brackets using the above rules:
{ Player: Badger
{ Board: cutting board
{ Board#1
{ Game#12345
Using the partial links above, add a single space and a closing bracket and you get:
Badger
Cutting Board
GoldToken Help
#12345
———
To show a copyable link, simply add a star after the space but before the word...
{ *Board#1
Add a star after the 1 to the above, then a space and a closing bracket and you get {
Board#1 }
