== Inserting symbols == <!--T:132-->

−
<!--T:133-->
  
−
Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[VisualEditor/Special characters|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen.
  
−  
−
<!--T:166-->
  
−
As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&amp;rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol &rarr; and '''&amp;mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol &mdash;. </translate>

{{note|1=<translate><!--T:134--> Hover over any character to find out the symbol that it produces. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.</translate>}}

Revision as of 05:07, 10 December 2018

This page is currently undergoing a major edit for a while. To prevent edit conflicts, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed.

A page can be formatted in a number of different ways, using headers, lists, infoboxes, and image galleries. For ideas on how to implement each of these in the different editors, please see the Classic editor page, the Visual Editor page, and the wikitext page for source mode.

Headings

  • It is good to break up long articles into sections to help the reader stay oriented. This can be done using headings. The format options available are:
Format option What it will look like
Normal text Text in a regular paragraph format
Heading 2

is the highest level of paragraph formatting. This is meant for major section headings.

Heading 3

is a sub-header and can be used as a sub-section heading

Heading 4

is a smaller sub-header

Heading 5
is the smallest sub-header option
Code / preformatted Technical text that should be displayed in a fixed-width font

Lists

Lists can help to visually group related content and may be numbered or have bullet points.

  • Numbers: A numbered list will look like this:
  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item
  • Bullets: A bullet list will look like this:
  • First item
  • Second item
  • Third item

Infoboxes

  • Infoboxes can be used to separate out important basic information that people may want to find quickly.

Image galleries

  • A gallery of images or a slideshow can be used to present similar types of images in a more compact format on the page.
