'''Indenting''' can help improve the layout of a discussion considerably, making it much easier to read. AYou standardshould practice is toalways indent your reply one level deeper than the person you are replying to. The simplest way of indenting 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. :

Line 11:

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

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

To create a list, use an [[Asterisk (punctuation)|asterisk]] (<tt>*</tt>) in place ofafter the last colon (<tt>:</tt>) to create a ''bullet point'' for that line.
