This page will give you an idea of what some of the most basic text formatting looks like. To figure out how to actually perform this formatting, please see these instructions.
Headings
Break up long articles into sections to help the reader stay interested. To do this, use headings.
| Format option | What it will look like |
|---|---|
| Normal text | Text in a regular paragraph format |
| Heading (h2) | is the highest (listed) level of paragraph formatting. This is meant for major section headings and is usually set off by a horizontal rule across the width of the text area. |
| Sub-heading 1 (h3) | is a sub-header and can be used as a sub-section heading |
| Sub-heading 2 (h4) | is a smaller sub-header |
| Sub-heading 33 (h5) | is even smaller |
| Sub-heading 4 (h6) | is the smallest sub-header option |
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:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Bullets: A bullet list will look like this:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
Code
Monospace text or preformatted text may be suitable for code or raw data.
| Format option | What it will look like |
|---|---|
| Code | Inline technical text that should be displayed in a fixed-width font
|
| Preformatted | A large amount of text that should be displayed in a fixed-width font |
Styles
Changing the basic font type for emphasis or annotation.
| Format option | What it will look like |
|---|---|
| Bold | This text is rendered in the bold version of the normal font. |
| Italic | This text is rendered in the italic version of the normal font. |
| Strikethrough | |
| Underline | This text is rendered with a line beneath the normal font. |
| Subscripts | This is an example of asubscript |
| Superscripts | This is an example of asuperscript |
