    === 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 <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki> without the text turning bold. In such cases you can put <nowiki><nowiki> and </nowiki></nowiki> between the text that should remain unformatted.
    {| class="wikitable"
    !style="width:50%"|You type
    !style="width:50%"|You get
    |-
    |{{Input|1=<nowiki>
    To make '''bold text''',
    use <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki></nowiki>}}
    |To make '''bold text''', use <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki>
    |}
     
    Sometimes it is useful to not apply the wiki markup, for example when you want to demonstrate how to use it. In such cases you can put <nowiki><nowiki> and </nowiki></nowiki> between the text that should remain unformatted.

    Headings automatically form part of your Table of Contents, so need to be structured. Their place in the tree is governed by multiple = characters at each end of the heading.

    Remember

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

    This is a paragraph. This belongs to the same paragraph.

    This starts a new paragraph.

    You can manually insert a newline like this.

    '''Bold text'''
    Bold text
    ''Italic text''

    Lists

    Description You type You get
    Bulleted lists
    * One
    * Two
    ** Two point one
    * Three
    
    • One
    • Two
      • Two point one
    • Three

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

    Note

    Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short.


    Indenting text

    You type You get
    No indent (normal)
