What it looks like |
What you type |
Formatting text, bold & italics | |
HTML MethodThe Bold and Italics tags work. Wiki MethodYou can italicize text by putting two (2) apostrophes on each side. Three (3) apostrophes will embolden the text. Five (5) apostrophes will embolden and italicize the text. There is a bold & italics button on top of the editor. Just select (highlight) the text to format and press either button. | The <b>Bold</b> and <i>Italics</i> tags work. You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 apostrophes on each side. 3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''. 5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize '''''the text'''''. (4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just ''''one left over''''.) |

Section Headings | |
|
Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them. Section Header (Level 2)This is the most used header. It is called a Level 2 Header. It creates large, bold text with a separation line under it. There are two (2) '=' equals signs around the text. SubsectionWith three (3) '=' equals signs around the text, you get a Subsection, smaller than the Level 2 Header and without the line under it. Smaller SubsectionAgain, add another '=' equals sign, four (4) around the text, will give a smaller Subsection. | == Section Header (Level 2) == This is the most used header. It is called a Level 2 Header. === Subsection === With three (3) '=' equals signs around the text, you get a Subsection. ==== Smaller Subsection ==== Four (4) '=' equals signs around the text will give a smaller Subsection. |
Paragraphs and New Lines | |
|
Starting a new line in the text editor does not start a new line in the final page. You need to use the HTML Break Tag (New Line) to start a new line in the final page. Strange BehaviorLine 1 And still line 1 Using the HTML Break TagLine 1... Using one (1) blank line between linesLine 1 ends here. Line 2 with a blank line between the above line. Using two (2) blank lines between linesThis text will not be spaced. Even after starting a new line.

Indent a line
A newline starts a new paragraph.
