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) | This is the Highest Level of Section Heading(It is meant for major sections and is usually set off by a horizontal rule across the width of the text area. It will appear after an integer in the table of contents.) |
Sub-heading 1 (h3) | This is a sub-header(It can be used to subdivide a major section. It will appear after the first decimal in the table of contents.) |
Sub-heading 2 (h4) | This is a smaller sub-header(It will appear after the second decimal in the table of contents.) |
Sub-heading 3 (h5) | This one is even smaller(It will appear after the third decimal in the table of contents.) |
Sub-heading 4 (h6) | This is the smallest sub-header option(It will appear after the fourth decimal in the table of contents.) |
Page title (h1) | Only used on page titles(Please do not use this on a normal wiki page) |
