Headings automatically form part of your Table of Contents, so need to be structured. Their place in the tree is governed by multiple <code>=</code> characters at each end of the heading.
Section headings define the structure of the page and is used to generate the Table of Contents. They are created by putting two or more <code>=</code> characters at each end of the section heading.


{{Remember|''Level 1'' is reserved for the page title and should not be used.}}
{{Remember|<code><nowiki>= Level 1 =</nowiki></code> is reserved for page titles and should not be used.}}

Sometimes it is useful to not apply the wiki markup, for example when you want to demonstrate how to use it. In such cases you can put <nowiki><nowiki> and </nowiki></nowiki> between the text that should remain unformatted.

The best way to refer to icons in the GUI is to display the icon in the text. The argument (in the example above <code>plasma</code>) is the same as the icon name that icon themes use.


==== Thumbnail with caption ====
If the icon does not exist, it has to be uploaded to the wiki:
* The icons can often be found locally in the directory <tt>usr/share/icons/oxygen/</tt>
* Find the icon image file, preferably in 16x16 px
* Copy the image file to your home directory and add <tt>Icon-</tt> in front of the filename. The rest of the filename should remain the same, so for example <tt>plasma.png</tt> would be <tt>Icon-plasma.png</tt>
* Upload the icon to UserBase. See [[Special:myLanguage/Update_an_Image|Update an Image]] for more information about how to upload images

(to be made shorter) Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short.
