Hi Jean Pierre,
It looks like most of the formatting you would like to mimic from Wikibooks is
just the way they have edited. You can use the view source tab (where the edit
button usually is in a wiki you are logged in to) to see what they have
written. I would suggest looking through some of Wikipedia's basic editing
guides to get an idea what you are looking at, but on the wiki books front page
some things I think you might like pointed out are:
__NOTOC__ this tells the wiki you do not want to use a table of contents like
the blue boxes Wikipedia uses.
{{Main Page introduction}} with the curly braces around this it tells the wiki
to transclude, or pull in the content, of the page whose title is between the
braces
I doubt that you have any sister projects yet, so you shouldn't worry about
that section.
I don't know if you have figured out how to change your icon, but that is a
setting in the LocalSettings.php file.
Good luck!
-Courtney
