Formating and Effects

One should include the text formatting like bold or italics and the text size if the text are large or smaller than the default surrounding texts.

In the boxes below, you can read the finished version on the right, and what you type is on the left.


what you type how it renders it

Paragraphs are produced simply by leaving a blank line between them.

There is no need for any additional markup but all text
within a paragraph wraps as normal depending on the size
of the window. Vary the width to see what happens.

  spaces at the start of the line produce an emphasis box
  so be very careful about them

For font emphasis, use ''double apostrophes'' for italic

For font emphasis, use double apostrophes for italic

and '''three apostrophes''' for '''bold'''

and three apostrophes for bold

You can even do '''''bold''' within italic'' or '''bold with ''italic''''' but they only apply within the text line

You can even do bold within italic or bold with italic but they only apply within the text line

* '''Lists''' are easy to do:
* start every line
* with a star
** more stars mean
*** deeper levels
  • Lists are easy to do:

  • with a star
    • more stars mean
      • deeper levels
# '''Numbered lists''' are just as easy
# Start with a hash
## and use more of them for embedded lists
# and come back to continue

  1. Numbered lists are just as easy
  2. Start with a hash
    1. and use more of them for embedded lists
  3. and come back to continue
'''Indented texts''' such as poems or different styles of numbered lists can also be made to any level.
:Simply start with colons
::The more you use the more indentation there is.

Indented texts such as poems or different styles of numbered lists can also be made to any level.

Simply start with colons
The more you use the more indentation there is.
If you want {{larger|a bigger font size}}, or a {{smaller|smaller size}}, that's easy.

If you want a bigger font size, or a smaller size, that's easy.

{{center|'''A centered title'''}}
Note that you can use any normal formatting within the template. In this case "center" is often abbreviated to "c".
A centered title

Note that you can use any normal formatting within the template. In this case "center" is often abbreviated to "c".

You can also do
{{right|'''right aligned''' text}} and the normal is {{left|'''left aligned'''.}}
{{justify|But if you want to use '''justified text''', this is also available in a similar way. Note in these examples that the template may introduce a new paragraph implicitly.}}

You can also do

right aligned text

and the normal is
left aligned.
But if you want to use justified text, this is available in a similar way. Note in these examples that the template may introduce a new paragraph implicitly.
The '''rule''' template {{rule|5em}}  uses its argument to govern the length of the rule: "em" is the width of a single wide character whereas "px" stands for pixels.

  1. Do include the text formatting, such as bold or italics: using '''bold''' or ''italics''. They are rendered as bold or italics.
  2. Do include different size using {{smaller}} or {{larger}}. Eg. If you want the heading of chapter to be bold and larger you would use {{larger|'''Chapter-1'''}} which will be rendered as Chapter-1. see
