    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.
    The tables of contents is generated from the section headings.


    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.

    • Two
      • Two point one
    • Three

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