|;Sections and subsections
Start sections with header lines
Line 39 ⟶ 37:
<b><font style="font-size:100%"> Sub-subsection</font></b>
*Start with a second-level heading (<tt><nowiki>==</nowiki></tt>); don't use first-level headings (=).
*Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level).
*A [[#Table of contents|table of contents]] will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
*If appropriate, place subsections in an appropriate order. If listing countries, for example, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of [[w:OECD|OECD]] countries, or some random order.
*If you want to keep headings out of the TOC you have to use HTML heading tags and close them without using a slash e.g. <nowiki><h4>heading too low level to be in the toc of large page<h4></nowiki>.

You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines.
You might find this causes future problems -- see [[w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks]] for details.

(The HTML tag <nowiki><br></nowiki> is sufficient. The system produces the XHTML code <nowiki><br /></nowiki>.)</p>

When there is a need for separating a block of text

the '''blockquote''' command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does.

This is useful for (as the name says) inserting blocks of quoted (and cited) text.
