== Basic formatting ==

=== Section headings ===

Section headings are created as follows:

{{Input|1=
<nowiki>
== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
==== Level 4 ====
===== Level 5 =====
====== Level 6 ======
</nowiki>
}}

{{Note|''Level 1'' is reserved for the page title and should not be used.}}

=== Paragraphs and newlines ===

Paragraphs are created by separating two blocks of text with at least one empty line.
For example, this does not create a new paragraph.

This is a new paragraph. 

A newline can be inserted manually like this,<br />
but use it sparely.

=== Text formatting ? ===

Examples of ''italic text'', '''bold text''' and '''''bold and italic text'''''. See [[Typographical Guidelines]] for more information about when to use what.

=== Lists ===

{{Info|Bulleted lists are preferred whenever possible.}}

==== Bulleted lists ====

* One
* Two
** Two point one
* Three

==== Numbered lists ====

# One
# Two
## Two point one
# Three

==== Definition lists ====

;item 1
: definition 1
;item 2
: definition 2-1
: definition 2-2

=== Indenting text ===

No indent (normal)
:First indent
:Further indents can cause problems and should not be used

=== Escape wiki markup ===

Sometimes it is useful to escape the wiki markup, for example if you want to show the markup of how to write <nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki> without the text turning bold. In such cases you can put <nowiki><nowiki> and </nowiki></nowiki> between the text that should remain unformatted.

== Common elements ==

=== Code ===

In running text <code>code is written like this</code>.


{{Input|1=<nowiki>
The code in this box is input by the user
  Indent with whitespace 
</nowiki>}}


{{Output|1=<nowiki>
This is some output the user would read from e.g. Konsole
It works in a similar way as the input box above
</nowiki>}}


{{Input|<syntaxhighlight lang="php" line>
# The input and output box also support syntax highlighting
# This is useful for displaying source code, see example below

# Initialise common code
$preIP = dirname( __FILE__ );
require_once( "$preIP/includes/WebStart.php" );
</syntaxhighlight>}}
