[edit] Categories

The primary method for organizing content at the article level is with categories. See Help:Categories for info.

[edit] Using Sections

Individual pages can be divided into sections. Sections are what form the table of contents on individual pages. To create a section, surround a section title between equal signs.

What you type:

==Section Name==

The main sections in a page should always have two equal signs on each side.

To create subsections of a section, just increase the number of equal signs on both sides of the section title by one.

What you type:

==Top Section==
Top section content here
===Sub Section===
Sub section content here
====Sub Sub Section====
Sub Sub section content here
====Sub Sub Section 2====
Sub Sub section 2 content here
===Sub Section 2===
Sub Section 2 content here
==Top Section 2==
Top Section 2 content here

[edit] Using Lists

Lists are similar to HTML lists. They are just lists of items.

[edit] Bulleted Lists (Unordered Lists)

Create a bulleted list item by starting a line with the '*' character. Lists can be as long as you want. To make sub-items in a list, increase the number of stars.

What you type:

* Item 1
*Item 2
**Item 2 sub 1
**Item 2 sub 2
*Item 3
**Item 3 sub 1
***Item 3 sub 1 sub 1

What you see:

• Item 1
• Item 2
  • Item 2 sub 1
  • Item 2 sub 2
• Item 3
  • Item 3 sub 1
    • Item 3 sub 1 sub 1

[edit] Numbered Lists

Numbered lists have numbers next to them instead of bullets. Numbers start from 1 and increment by 1. They are created by using the '#' character instead of the '*'.

What you type:

# Item 1
#Item 2
##Item 2 sub 1
##Item 2 sub 2

What you see:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
   1. Item 2 sub 1
   2. Item 2 sub 2

[edit] Mixed Lists

Mixed lists are lists that contain both bulleted and numbered items.

What you type:

*Item 1
#Sub 1
#Sub 2
*Item 2

What you see:

• Item 1

1. Sub 1
2. Sub 2

• Item 2

[edit] Line Breaks

List items should be on consecutive lines. If there is a blank line between list items, it is assumed that a new list is created and this may mess up formatting.

[edit] Terms and definitions

Terms and definitions can be created using the following structure:

; term : definition

For example

; wiki : A collaborative web site
; Apache : a popular web server

Will be displayed as:

wiki 

A collaborative web site

Apache 

a popular web server
