You completely break the bulleted list formatting here - if you want to add information to the same list item, check the syntax for it here.

It's better to put this in backticks, like this:
`C:\ProgramData\ManiaPlanet\PacksCache`
This would look like this: C:\ProgramData\ManiaPlanet\PacksCache

Strange !Info! block that doesn't really mean anything in formatting. You might wanna replace it with something more formatted, like this: (I also slightly rewrote the line itself)
**Info:** You have to download the titlepack in ManiaPlanet before the files are stored there.

I dont like wikipedia, github etc. i think this does everything more complicated than needed.
There is no user friendly formatting, handling etc. i really did my best and used the formatting the guy created the page used before. Thank you for editing it.

If you need to learn Markdown, this website is a great place to start.

More of a nitpick, but I would replace this with something like XnView or Irfanview, since it's more widely known.

Nope MediaInfo shows easily and clearly the needed informations, the other tools doesnt.

"Care exceptions"? What does that mean?

Some special files have different settings, there for i wrote the info (care exceptions) this settings doesnt work for those, you should always compare/take a look onto original files format.
All that is the reason im upset about nadeo/ubisoft missing informations everywhere, make it hard for modders to mod smth. without knowledge or a lot of time to search for needed infos. Thats in my opinion also one of the reasons TM died slowly/the player base is getting smaller.

Okay, well either way take a look at my other comment below. You can make this "care exceptions" text a lot more concise.

| * Generate MIP maps | ||

| This is the base texture which is visible, no alpha channel here! Save as `filename_D`. | ||
| This is the base texture which is visible, normally there is no alpha channel. Save as `filename_D`. | ||
| To check the exceptions open the original file in Photoshop or Gimp and check for alpha channel. |

I see you probably meant this with the "care exceptions" above, but you might be able to write it in a different, more concise way. I'd rewrite it a bit, but I don't really understand what you mean with "you need it also for your modified/created file".
