Uploading images
To upload images to be used in forum-threads, there exist many free picture-host-websites on the internet. ( http://imgur.com , http://photobucket.com ,...)
For images that are meant to be included on wiki-pages it is more reliable to upload images to the zero-K site directly.
(in case the host site goes down or blocks due to "hotlinking" in case of heavy traffic)
Here is how to upload images to zK website:

To get the url of the uploaded image rightclick on it, click 'display graphic' and copy the url.
(It will be your chosen 'shortcut' with _bg added in front of file extension)
Subsections / Chapters and Table of Contents
<wiki:toc /> //inserts table of contents = Heading Level 1 = blablabla == Sub Heading Level 2 == blablabla == Another Sub Heading Level 2 == bla blubblub = Another Heading Level 1 = xyzxyz xyzxyz
Lists
Unnumbered lists
Adding an space and * in front of a new line like this...
* Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3
...creates a list:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
Tables
|| AAA || BBB || CCC || ||DDD || EEE || FFF || || GGG || HHH || III ||
creates a table:
AAA | BBB | CCC |
DDD | EEE | FFF |
GGG | HHH | III |
