Your best bet is to look at other examples.

(all below is PHP)
0) Pick a file for your extension, and include it in LocalSettings.php
1) First you must register a function name with the extension tag
2) write that function
3) wiki text comes into the function
4) whatever you return from the function should be valid HTML,  
because it will be spit out on the client browser.
