Halp:Formatting pages/source mode

A wiki page can be formatted in a number of different ways, adding headers, lists, and by indenting.

Step-by-Step

Headings

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

• To add a headers, that you can not edit, you add <h2>Title</h2>, <h3>Title</h3>, <h4>Title</h4>, <h5>Title</h5> or <h6>Title</h6> and then place your text pertaining to that heading underneath.

• To add a headers, that you can edit, add 2 though 6 equal signs ==, ===, ===, ===== or ====== to both sides of your Heading text.

  Note:

  ===== and ======, Heading Levels 5 and 6, are not editable as section edits.

Heading option	What it will look like
<h2>Heading Level 2</h2>	Heading Level 2
==Heading Level 2==	Heading Level 2
<h3>Heading Level 3</h3>	Heading Level 3
===Heading Level 3===	Heading Level 3
<h4>Heading Level 4</h4>	Heading Level 4
====Heading Level 4====	Heading Level 4
<h5>Heading Level 5</h5>	Heading Level 5
=====Heading Level 5=====	Heading Level 5
<h6>Heading Level 6</h6>	Heading Level 6
======Heading Level 6======	Heading Level 6

Lists

If you would like to create a list, you can make either bulleted or numbered lists:

• Numbers: Begin each line with a number sign, #.
• Bullets: Begin each line with a Astrix, *.

Bullet option	What it will look like
# Item 1 at level 1 # Item 2 at level 1 ## Item 1 at level 2 ### Item 1 at level 3 ### Item 2 at level 3 ## Item 2 at level 2 # Item 3 You can go up to 6 levels deep	Item 1 at level 1 Item 2 at level 1 Item 1 at level 2 Item 1 at level 3 Item 2 at level 3 Item 2 at level 2 Item 3 at level 1
* Item 1 at level 1 * Item 2 at level 1 ** Item 1 at level 2 *** Item 1 at level 3 *** Item 2 at level 3 ** Item 2 at level 2 * Item 3 at level 1 You can go up to 6 levels deep	Item 1 at level 1 Item 2 at level 1 Item 1 at level 2 Item 1 at level 3 Item 2 at level 3 Item 2 at level 2 Item 3 at level 1

Indenting

To indent text, you begin the line with a colon, :.

Indent option	What it will look like
: Item 1 at level 1 : Item 2 at level 1 :: Item 1 at level 2 ::: Item 1 at level 3 ::: Item 2 at level 3 :: Item 2 at level 2 : Item 3 at level 1 You can go up to 6 levels deep	Item 1 at level 1 Item 2 at level 1 Item 1 at level 2 Item 1 at level 3 Item 2 at level 3 Item 2 at level 2 Item 3 at level 1

Note:

The Numbered lists, Bulleted lists and Indenting options can be used in conjunction with each other but use caution if you do as it can get confusing at times.

Code and Preformatting

You can use <code> . . . </code> and <pre> . . . </pre> as well

Indent option	What it will look like
<code> text </code>	text
<pre> Line 1 text goes here Line 2 text goes here Line 3 text goes here </pre>	Line 1 text goes here Line 2 text goes here Line 3 text goes here
