There are a few simple tricks that allow you to format your text in a wiki:
- You need a full carriage return to start a new paragraph. Alternately you can type a ";" at the beginning of a line.
- By surrounding text by certain characters you can change formatting, for example:
- The character ' changes font such that ''italic'' makes the enclosed text italic, and '''bold''' makes the enclosed text bold.
- The character = is used to indicate section titles, with major section breaks marked as ==section== and subsection marked as ===subsection===.
You may also wish to open for editing a well formatted page to see how a previous author has done the job.
