'''Indenting''' can help improve the layout of a discussion, making it much easier to read. You should always indent your reply one level deeper than the person you are replying to. The best way to indent is to place a [[Colon (punctuation)|colon]] (<tt>:</tt>) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you use, the further indented the text will be:.

The example below shows some text as it would appear when making a comment, while the box on the right shows how it would look once the comments are saved to the article:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="float:right;"

|-

Line 24 ⟶ 26:

: <tt><nowiki>: </nowiki>This is indented slightly.</tt>

: <tt><nowiki>:: </nowiki>This is indented more.</tt>

(The colons will not show up on the page itself, just while editing.)
