PageLayout
This page lays out the sections that we would like to see in an ideal page. You should aim to get as many of the sections into your page as is practicable.
Available Tools
- Tool Box shows you wiki markup for the effect you need
- Typographical Guidelines standardises markup for use in translation, either to official manuals (DocBook) or to other languages.

Note
A double-Enter is required to make a new paragraph. Please use this after any heading, as it puts headings in a separate translation unit which is preferred by translators using external tools.
Note
If you are making frequent edits to your page, please use either {{Construction}} or {{Being_Edited}} so that translators and other contributors know to wait until you are finished.
