How-To format your text
To use italics, surround the text with double apostrophes.
For bold text, use triple apostrophes.
If you want to super emphasize what you are writing, surround the text with five apostrophes.
If you are already comfortable with <tags>, those will work as well.
Italic, Bold, Boldly italicized!
In wiki form: <i>Italic</i>, <b>Bold</b>, <i><b>Boldly italicized!</b></i>
You can strike out deleted text, or underline an important point.
In wiki form: You can <strike>strike out deleted text</strike>, or <u>underline an important point</u>.
To divide your page, you can use a horizontal line by using <tags>:
or by typing horizontal dashes:
A new line will not start a new paragraph, however, leaving a blank line will.
(Click "edit" and look at this section to get a better idea of what that means.)
To put text in a box like this, simply put a space at the beginning of the line.
How-To use bullet points and numbered lists
- bullets are created by using asterisks (*)
- by doubling
- or tripling the asterisks up you can deepen your lists
- by doubling
You can also itemize with numbered lists:
- numbered lists are created by using the pound (#) sign
- at the beginning of each line
How-To create sections
Wiki pages can be subdivided into sections by using headers. To create a header, put double equal signs (==) around the section title. To create a sub-section, use three equal signs (===), and so on.
Once you have a certain amount of section headers, Ohio Sunshine will automatically create a Table of Contents for you at the top of the page.
