You can italicize text by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.
3 apostrophes will bold the text.
5 apostrophes will bold and italicize
'the text'.
(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- there are just left over ones that are included as part of the text.)

A single newline
generally has no effect on the layout.
These can be used to separate
sentences within a paragraph.
Some editors find that this aids editing
and improves the diff function
(used internally to compare
different versions of a page).
But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.
When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (There was an error working with the wiki: Code[7]
).

You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:
- Three tildes gives your signature: Reddi
- Four tildes give your signature plus date/time: Reddi 16:52, 25 Dec 2006 (EST) (UTC)
- Five tildes gives the date/time alone: 16:52, 25 Dec 2006 (EST) (UTC)

You can use some HTML tags too. For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see There was an error working with the wiki: Code[9]
. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.

Section headings
Headings organize your writing into
sections. The Wiki software can automatically
generate a There was an error working with the wiki: Code[10]

Subsection
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.
A smaller subsection
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.
