Formatting Basics

Here's a basic starting point for structuring your pages. If this seems a bit crazy to you, you can still use simple HTML tags instead, such as <h2> <h3> <b> <i> <div>. (please don't use <h1> because this is reserved for page titles)

Headings

Split your article into headings and sub-headings to give it some structure by using equal signs.
==Main Heading==
===Sub Heading (and so on)===
Please don't use single equals =like this= because this equates to <h1> and is reserved for page titles.

Text formatting

• Bold text is written with three apostrophes like '''this''' and looks like this.
• Italic text is written with two apostrophes like ''this'' and looks like this.

Links

• To link to an internal article, use two square brackets, so this [[Jumba]] looks like this: Jumba.
• To link to an external page, use the full URL http://jig.com.au OR use one square bracket, so this [http://jig.com.au Jumba] looks like this: Jumba

Lists

• You can create bullet lists by using * at the beginning of a line.
  • You can create a sub-bullet by using two **.

1. Create a numbered list with a #
2. text goes here
   1. And further numbered lists with two ##.
