==Formatting== Most text formatting is usually done with wiki markup, so you don't have to learn HTML. ===Bold and italics=== '''Bold''' and ''italics'' are added by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes ('): *<tt><nowiki>''italics''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as ''italics''. (2 apostrophes on each side) *<tt><nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as '''bold'''. (3 apostrophes on each side) *<tt><nowiki>'''''bolded italics'''''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as '''''bolded italics'''''. (2 + 3 = 5 apostrophes on each side) ===Headings and subheadings=== Headings and subheadings are an easy way to improve the organization of an article. If you can see two or more distinct topics being discussed, you can break up your article by inserting a heading for each section. Headings can be created like this: *<tt><nowiki>==Main heading==</nowiki></tt> (2 equals signs) <!-- it's not the "top" level --> *<tt><nowiki>===Subheading===</nowiki></tt> (3 equals signs) *<tt><nowiki>====Another level down====</nowiki></tt> (4 equals signs) *<tt><nowiki>=====Another level down=====</nowiki></tt> (5 equals signs) If an article has at least three headings, a table of contents (TOC) will be automatically generated. Try creating some headings in the [[PROJECT:Sandbox|Sandbox]] and see the effect on the TOC. ===Indenting=== To indent text, place a colon (<tt>:</tt>) right at the beginning of a line. The more colons you put, the further indented the text will be. A newline (pressing '''Enter''' or '''Return''') marks the end of the indented paragraph. For example: <br><tt>This is aligned all the way to the left.</tt> :<tt><nowiki>:</nowiki>This is indented slightly.</tt> :<tt><nowiki>::</nowiki>This is indented more.</tt> is shown as: <br>This is aligned all the way to the left. :This is indented slightly. ::This is indented more. ===Bullet points=== To insert a bullet, use an asterisk (<tt>*</tt>). Similar to rectal indentation, more asterisks in front of a paragraph means more indentation. A brief example: :<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>First list item</tt> :<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>Second list item</tt> :<tt><nowiki>**</nowiki>Sub-list item under second</tt> :<tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>Isn't this fun?</tt> Which is shown as: :*First list item :*Second list item :**Sub-list item under second :*Isn't this fun? ===Numbered lists=== You can also create numbered lists. For this, use the number sign or hash symbol (<tt>#</tt>). Using more <tt>#</tt>s will affect the level of indenting. Example: :<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>First item</tt> :<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>Second item</tt> :<tt><nowiki>##</nowiki>Sub-item under second item</tt> :<tt><nowiki>#</nowiki>Third item</tt> Shows up as: :#First item :#Second item :##Sub-item under second item :#Third item
