2b2t Wiki:How to edit/Text Formatting



Headings and subheadings
Headings and subheadings are a way to organize an article. If an article discusses several topics and dedicates more than a couple of paragraphs to each, you can make the article more readable by inserting a heading for each topic — that is, creating a section for each topic. You can also create sections within sections (i.e., subsections) by using subheadings:

You create headings surrounding the heading text with surrounding  tags. The more  symbols in the wiki tag, the more nested the heading is: {| style="border:none; text-align:left; padding:0.3em;"
 * style="background:#E6F2FF; padding:0.3em; text-align:center;" |You type
 * width="50%" style="background:#E6F2FF; padding:0.3em; text-align:center;" |You get
 * width="50%" style="background:#E6F2FF; padding:0.3em; text-align:center;" |You get

Heading 2

 * }If an article has at least four headings, a table of contents is automatically generated. Try creating a heading in the Sandbox. It will be added automatically to the table of contents for the page, assuming three others already exist.

Bold and italics
Bolding and italicizing are done by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes. The names of an article's subject are written in bold when they are first mentioned in the article. For example, the article Communist Party of 2b2t begins:
 * The Communist Party of 2b2t (CP2B), commonly known as The Soviets, was a group formed under the goal of purging 2b2t of fascist imagery. ...

Italics are uncommonly used; they should be used when mentioning the names of real-life books, movies, albums, and video game titles (such as when mentioning Minecraft). One article using italics in its title is 2b2t Chronicles.

Wiki markup
The Wikipedia editor has two toolbars with buttons that help with the use of wikimarkup. For instance, if you want to type a text in bold, instead of manually typing the  tags, you can just press the Bold button and then type the text in bold directly. If your toolbar looks like this: ) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text.
 * The "" item ( U ) adds a solid line beneath the selected text.
 * The "" item (Aあ) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text.
 * The final item ([[File:VisualEditor MediaWiki theme clear icon bitmap.png]]), called "", removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links.

Colors
To make the article more beautiful you can make it colorful. Colored tables are more understandable and illustrative. Here's some colors, you can use in your articles. __NOTITLE__
