<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;">Section headings</div>
''Headings'' organize your writing into
sections. The Wiki software can automatically
generate a [[Help:table of contents|table of contents]] from them.
<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div>
Using more "equals" (=) signs creates a subsection.
<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div>
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

Here's a ''definition list'':

Begin with a semicolon. One item per line;
a newline can appear before the colon, but
using a space before the colon improves
parsing.

'''[[Help:Template|Templates]]''' are segments of Wiki markup that are meant to be copied automatically ("transcluded") into a page.

Some templates take ''parameters'', as well, which you separate with the pipe character.
