Basic formatting

Section headings

Section headings are created as follows:

== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
==== Level 4 ====
===== Level 5 =====
====== Level 6 ======
Note
Level 1 is reserved for the page title and should not be used.
The tables of contents is generated from the section headings.


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,
but use it sparely.

Intending text

No indent (normal)
