DErik's Test Page Renamed
Real text after the blank again.
A blank line preceeds this. Immediately followed by the header.
A <br> preceeds this. Next a
transclusion.
Yep, the transclusion stopped the preview. Not really unexpected since it is a "Table of Contents". But let's try just a __TOC__ . The heading being the first real text in the page may be a problem for the popup preview. So I removed it to see what would happen.
That seemed to help. Now trying a line with just a single space in it. (Note that a blank line didn't seem to help.) That didn't seem to work either. Back to putting real text in there as the first stuff. There also seems to be a considerable time lag between saving the changes and then having the preview recognize it. And the redirect page is also different at times, probably due to the time lag.
Ok, gotta back up again. The browser history may have had something to do with it. Back to just a space character - no other real text before the heading. Still a significant time delay. It still thnks the real text is there (when preview attempted from another document).
Waited and retried preview. Put real text after the space again. Will wait and try preview again.
OK, preview works again showing the real text up to the header. Trying to put a blank line then some more text to see just how far the preview goes.
Appears that it will take quite a bit, but the header stops it.
a heading
This page did start with:

This text is wrapped in a <span> tag with a CSS style attribute included. The CSS style of "text-align: center;" apparently is not recognized or is ignored or deleted by the wiki software.
The actual full text of the above paragraph is shown below, wrapped in a <nowiki> tag so that you can see all of it. However, the left and right arrow characters around "span" above are done with normal HTML escapes, that is wrapped in an "&" and ";" so that they will appear as the proper characters and not be recognized as arrow indicators.

References and Footnotes
Inserting a reference: [1]. And then listing them, at least the ones defined so far.
- ↑ Some reference here
Trying it in WYSIWG editor: <ref>Really does not work</ref> because it wraps in nowiki tag.
A live reference example: [1][2] with the list here:
- ↑ Wikipedia administration,Admin
- ↑ [Wikipedia:WikiProjects|Wikipedia projects],Projects
Note the numbering started over. This is because the reference list was already done above.

A file reference included here: [[File:5387.jpg|thumb|100x100px|Some caption here]]
That is to a JPG and shown as a thumbnail photo. It appears that it will be placed by default to the far right of the text body, with any following text wrapped around it. This seems to be because it is a "thumbnail" or a floating. But you can change the left right position using a floating attribute. For example, the following picture
is in a <span style="float:left; margin:5px;">pic</span>.
And you are able to modify the position of a picture with regard to the text even when it is not a thumb or floating picture. But in those cases, it seems that horizontal and vertical positioning do not interact well with each other. For example, to center the pic and have the bottom of the pic even with the bottom of the text does not seem possible, while doing either one independtly works fine. See Help:Images
The "No wiki formatting" button in the toolbar above wraps selected text in the <nowiki></nowiki> tag. This results in the included text not being recognized as wiki commands. And I think not as HTML in some cases either. Still experimenting with that.

This is the '''top level''' of [[Wikipedia:About|Wikipedia]]'s [[Wikipedia:Categorization|category system]] (which is why it has no parent category). Its subcategories contain various types of encyclopaedic content (i.e. [[:Category:Articles|articles]]), content that assists with the navigation of the encyclopaedia (e.g. [[:Category:Portals|portals]]), as well as pages related to maintaining and collaborating on the encyclopaedia (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Administration|Wikipedia administration]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProjects|WikiProjects]]).

This is the top level of Wikipedia's category system (which is why it has no parent category). Its subcategories contain various types of encyclopaedic content (i.e. articles), content that assists with the navigation of the encyclopaedia (e.g. portals), as well as pages related to maintaining and collaborating on the encyclopaedia (e.g. Wikipedia administration and WikiProjects).
Note that the "Template:..." lines, and a couple of other referencees, are red, indicating that the referenced pages do not yet exist. That is because this is the RCGRS wiki site. They do exist on the Wikipedia site, but not here. To see the actual Wikipedia page, and view its actual source from there, click the link at the begining of this section. Also, note the syntax of the references in the source; it is done with transclusion, so the actual page as displayed appears a little differently than just the source text would imply.
Section headings with anchor
<div id="Unique anchor name 1">optional text</div> <span id="Unique anchor name 2">optional text</span>
Rendered block-level and inline, respectively. Doing this would allow for [[#Unique anchor name 1]] on the same page or [[Help:Links#Unique anchor name 1]] on a different page. Omit the "optional text" for an invisible anchor.
Setting an anchor in a section heading
==<span id="Alternate Section Title 1">Some anchor name here?</span>Section heading goes here==
Note the placement. This must be a "span" tag, not a "div". (Such anchors allow sections to be retitled without breaking incoming links.) DErik note: Note that the text line starts with a blank character, not the "==" characters that indicate a section start. Deleting that blank character results in the following:
<span id="Alternate Section Title 1">Some anchor name here?</span>Section heading goes here
Also note that, in both examples above, everything between the double equals sign pairs, that are the wiki markup for a section, is also wrapped in a "nowiki" tag section - that you cannot see without editing this page.
