== [[w:Wikitext|Wikitext]] markup — making your page look the way you want ==

* If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the [[{{ns:4}}:Sandbox]].
* More information on [[Help:HTML in wikitext|HTML tags in wikitext]].

=== Organizing your writing — sections, paragraphs, lists and lines ===

; Sections and subsections
Start sections with header lines

Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them.


New section

Subsection

Sub-subsection

* Start with a second-level heading (<tt><nowiki>==</nowiki></tt>); don't use first-level headings (=).
* Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level).
* A [[Help:Table_of_contents#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29|table of contents]] will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
* If appropriate, place subsections in order. If listing countries, for example, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of [[w:OECD|OECD]] countries, or some [[wikt:haphazard|haphazard]]ous order.
* If you want to keep headings out of the TOC you have to use HTML heading tags and close them without using a slash e.g. <nowiki><h4>heading too low level to be in the TOC of large page<h4></nowiki>.

; [[w:Newline|Newline]]:

A single
newline
has no
effect on the
layout.

But an empty line
starts a new paragraph,
or ends a list or indented part.
(<nowiki></nowiki> disables this paragraphing until <nowiki></nowiki> or the end of the section)

(In Cologne blue, two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines.)

A semicolon at the start of a line is not rendered, but has the effect of rendering the newline. A colon in such a line is not rendered, but has the effect of starting a new, indented line, see definition list.

You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines.
You might find this causes future problems—see [[w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks]] for details.

* When used in a list, a newline ''does'' affect the layout (See [[Help:List]]).

|-
|You can break lines 
without starting a new paragraph.

* Please use this sparingly.
* Close markup between lines; do not start a [[Help:link|link]] or ''italics'' or '''bold''' on one line and close it on the next.

* ''Unordered Lists'' are easy to do:
** start every line with a star,
*** more stars means deeper levels.
* A newline

marks the end of the list.
* Of course,

* One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.
|-
|
; Indenting
: A colon at the start of a line indents a paragraph.
A manual newline starts a new paragraph.
* This is often used for discussion on [[Help:talk page|talk page]]s.
In the case of a semicolon and some text in front of the colon, the first colon starts a new line (indented as before) even though it is in the wikitext not at the start of the line, see definition list.

More information at [[Help:Link]].

==== Internal links ====

General notes:
* Enclose the '''target name''' in double square brackets — <nowiki>"[[" and "]]"</nowiki>.
* First letter of target name is automatically capitalized.
* Spaces are represented as underscores (but don't do underscores yourself).
* [[Like this one|Links to nonexistent pages]] are shown in red — [[Help:Starting a new page]] tells about creating the page.
* When the mouse cursor "hovers" over the link, you see a "hover box" containing... hover over links hereafter to see.
