− | '''To format Headings''', the basic Level One Heading (found in the edit toolbar as the giant capital A) uses double equal <nowiki> == </nowiki> signs before and after the heading text. Subsequent heading levels can be added by adding one additional = sign at either end for each level of subhead. Each of these Headings will automatically add an entry to the page Table of Contents (TOC). Examples: <br>
| |
− | ==Level One Heading <nowiki> ==text== </nowiki> ==
| |
− | ===Level Two Heading #1 <nowiki> ===text=== </nowiki> ===
| |
− | ===Level Two Heading #2===
| |
− | ====Level Three Heading <nowiki> ====text==== </nowiki> ====
| |
− | =====Level Four Heading <nowiki> =====text===== </nowiki> =====
| |
− | ======Level Five Heading <nowiki> ======text====== </nowiki> ======

− | '''To insert a "Bullet" before a line of text''', simply add a single star <nowiki> (*) </nowiki> at the begining of the line. <br>
| |
− | The same trick as used above will allow nesting of bullets also. Examples: <br>
| |
− | *Level One -<nowiki> *text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | *Level One - just to see how it looks...<br>
| |
− | **Level Two -<nowiki> **text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | **Level Two - just to see how it looks...<br>
| |
− | ***Level Three -<nowiki> ***text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | ****Level Four -<nowiki> ****text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | *****Level Five -<nowiki> *****text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | ******Level Six -<nowiki> ******text </nowiki> <br>

− | '''You may also indent paragraphs''' in a similar way. <br>This might be useful when following a topic on a talk page to show which comment you are replying to. <br>The wiki format code in this case is the colon <nowiki> (:) </nowiki>, used as follows: <br> <br>
| |
− | Basic text with NO indention - <nowiki> text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | :Indent One - <nowiki> :text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | ::Indent Two - <nowiki> ::text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | :::Indent Three - <nowiki> :::text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | ::::Indent Four - <nowiki> ::::text </nowiki><br>
| |
− | :::::Indent Five - <nowiki> :::::text </nowiki><br>

− | '''Another useful formatting feature is the "Blue Box".''' On the left side of the editing page simply insert a single space. The entire paragraph will appear in a blue box until an "enter" or <nowiki> <br> </nowiki> appears. If you want a series of lines within the box, simply place a space at the beginning of every line. They will all appear within the same box as long as no "no box" line is between them. Examples:
| |
− | A single paragraph or sentence will be boxed. If you wish
| |
− | to define where the lines wrap, place your cursor at the
| |
− | break point you desire, then hit enter and insert one space
| |
− | allowing the text to continue as if it had wrapped at that
| |
− | point on its own. <br>
| |
− | <br>
| |
− | Also be aware that in wiki, when using a blue box, an extremely long paragraph will override the normal page
| |
− | template right margin. This will make the blue boxed text continue to the right off the page instead of
| |
− | wrapping and force you to horizontally scroll to read the entire text. This is a nuisance and should be
| |
− | avoided by manually inserting line breaks as descibed above. <br><br>
