Basic formatting

Section headings

Section headings are created as follows:

== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
==== Level 4 ====
===== Level 5 =====
====== Level 6 ======

Note

Level 1 is reserved for the page title and should not be used.

Paragraphs and newlines

Paragraphs are created by separating two blocks of text with at least one empty line. For example, this does not create a new paragraph.

This is a new paragraph.

A newline can be inserted manually like this,
but use it sparely.

Text formatting ?

Examples of italic text, bold text and bold and italic text. See Typographical Guidelines for more information about when to use what.

Lists

Information

Bulleted lists are preferred whenever possible.

Bulleted lists

One
Two
- Two point one
Three

Numbered lists

One
Two
1. Two point one
Three

Definition lists

item 1: definition 1
item 2: definition 2-1; definition 2-2

Indenting text

No indent (normal)

First indent

Further indents can cause problems and should not be used

Escape wiki markup ?

Sometimes it is useful to escape the wiki markup, for example if you want to show the markup of how to write '''bold text''' without the text turning bold. In such cases you can put <nowiki> and </nowiki> between the text that should remain unformatted.

Common elements

Code

In running text code is written like this.

The code in this box is input by the user
  Indent with whitespace

This is some output the user would read from e.g. Konsole
It works in a similar way as the input box above

# The input and output box also support syntax highlighting
# This is useful for displaying source code, see example below

# Initialise common code
$preIP = dirname( __FILE__ );
require_once( "$preIP/includes/WebStart.php" );
