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.

Indenting text

No indent (normal)

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

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
