Bold and Italics

When you go to an edit box -- either by clicking the Edit Tab at the top of an existing page, or being sent there by clicking a red link to a non-existent page -- you'll see some icons at the top left of the box. Select the text you want, then click the B or I icon for bold and italics. Most of the others don't really matter.

You can also make something bold by typing three single quote marks on both sides of the text you want to change, like this:

'''bold text''' 

To do the same for italics, you can type two single quote marks (NOT a double quote mark) on both sides of the text, like this:

''Italic text''

Bullets

Add bullets by typing an asterisk as the first character of the line (or two for an indented bullet), like this:

* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 3
** Item 4

That will produce this:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
    • Item 3
    • Item 4

You can make a numbered list by starting the line with the pound sign, #, like this:

# Item 1
# Item 2
# Item 3
# Item 4

which produces this:

  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
  3. Item 3
  4. Item 4

Headings

Headings are created by putting equal signs on both sides of the heading text, like this:

=Heading 1=
==Heading 2==
===Heading 3===

The above code produces the following, complete with the horizontal lines for levels 1 and 2. Note that Heading Level 1 is rarely used, because it is equivalent to the article title. Use Heading Level 2 (with pairs of equal signs) for your first-level subheads.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3
