===Creating Sections===
If you are writing anything longer than a few paragraphs there will be a good chance that it reads better if split into sections and a table of contents at the top (as with this page). WikiText will automatically create the sections, deal with all the formatting and create the table of contents at the top of your page. All you need do is mark your headings appropriately.▼
▲If you are writing anything longer than a few paragraphs there will be a good chance that it reads better if split into sections and has a table of contents at the top (as with this page). WikiText will automatically create the sections, deal with all the formatting and (if it finds 3 or more sections) create the table of contents at the top of your page. All you need do is mark your headings appropriately.
Start your Section name on a new line, with two equals symbols and end the section name in the same way.<br/>▼
To force creation of a table of contents on the right hand side of the page (so letting the reader see your introductory text before this) use <nowiki>{{TOCright}}</nowiki>.
Sections can be arranged in a hierarchical manner:
*Top level section names will use a single equals sign each side of them
**The next level will have two equals signs each side of the heading
***The third level will have three equals signs
****The fourth level will have four equals signs each side of the heading
It is possible to go to lower levels. Sections will be numbered, with subsection numbers separated from section above number by a full stop.
▲'''Start your Section name on a new line, with one (or two) equals symbols'''
A blank line before and after any heading line makes it easier to see the headings when editing the page, but do not affect the look for the reader.
