Help:Formatting text

A wiki page can be formatted in a number of different ways, using headers, lists, and indenting. All of the following options are available in the Wikia editor.

Headings

 * It is good to break up long articles into sections to help the reader stay oriented. This can be done using headings.


 * To create a header, highlight the text you wish to modify, and click on the Format_button.png button. You will see the dropdown menu shown on the right. From the list you can choose:

Lists
If you would like to create a list, you can use either use bullets or numbers with the button on the toolbar:
 * Numbers: Click on the numbers button Numbers.png, and a 1. will appear. Add text after. When you hit enter, the subsequent number will appear. Hit enter twice to exit the number format. A Numbered list will look like this:
 * Item the first
 * Item the second
 * Item the third


 * Bullets: Click on the bullets button Bullets.png, and a blue bullet will appear. Hit enter twice to exit the bullet format. A Bullet list will look like this:
 * Item the first
 * Item the second
 * Item the third

Indenting & Justifying

 * To indent text, highlight it and use the Indent.png button to move it to the left or right.


 * You can align text to the left, right, or center, using the Justify_button.png buttons.
