Most articles actually need very little '''text formatting'''.

All formatting is achieved by placing symbols on either side of blocks of text. You can either type the markup manually, or add it through the toolbar at the top of the editing area.

Headings and subheadings can be added by clicking {{menu icon|Advanced|left}} then {{menu icon|Heading}} in the extra toolbar line which now appears.

Line 15 ⟶ 13:

<br><code><nowiki>==Heading==</nowiki></code> (Level 2)

<br><code><nowiki>===Subheading===</nowiki></code> (Level 3)

Text can be made '''bold''' or ''italic'' using the {{menu icon|'''B'''|non}} and {{menu icon|'''''{{mono|I}}'''''|non}} buttons on the toolbar.

Line 21 ⟶ 18:

<br><code><nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki></code>

<br><code><nowiki>''italic''</nowiki></code>

<br>An article's subject isshould always be written in bold the first time it is mentioned, but not thereafter. For detailed guidance on how and where bold and italic text should be used, see the Manual of Style sections on [[MOS:BOLD|bold]] and [[MOS:ITALIC|italic]] formatting.
