Start your Section name on a new line, with two equals symbols | If you are writing anything longer than a few paragraphs there will be a good chance that it reads better if split into sections and has a table of contents at the top (as with this page). WikiText will automatically create the sections, deal with all the formatting and (if it finds 3 or more sections) create the table of contents at the top of your page. All you need do is mark your headings appropriately. | ||
To force creation of a table of contents on the right hand side of the page (so letting the reader see your introductory text before this) use <nowiki>{{TOCright}}</nowiki>. | |||
Sections can be arranged in a hierarchical manner: | |||
*Top level section names will use a single equals sign each side of them | |||
**The next level will have two equals signs each side of the heading | |||
***The third level will have three equals signs | |||
****The fourth level will have four equals signs each side of the heading | |||
It is possible to go to lower levels. Sections will be numbered, with subsection numbers separated from section above number by a full stop. | |||
'''Start your Section name on a new line, with one (or two) equals symbols''' on each side of your heading text.<br/> | |||
A blank line before and after any heading line makes it easier to see the headings when editing the page, but do not affect the look for the reader. | |||
