Formatting and media tips

Formatting tips


 * New paragraphs: Enter x 2, or use TEXT
 * Headings:
 * use second-level heading (==)
 * use third-level headings (===) for sub-heading; avoid skipping levels
 * table of contents - automatically generated for an article with 4 or more sections.
 * Images
 * Unless you specify, images default to the right. To send them to the left or centre, add the command after |, for example,
 * Use * for bullet points; # for numbered lists; : to indent
 * See Help for tables
