=== Headings and subheadings=== | |||
Clicklaw Wikibook pages rely heavily on in page headings and subheadings to break up content and to improve navigation. | |||
Select the words that you want to become a heading, then click button #5. The results, when saved, will give you a primary section heading in the text of an article. | |||
Headings within a page can also be produced by typing multiple equal signs, and you are not restricted to a single, primary level of header. A primary section heading is written ==Words in heading==, a subsection below it is written ===Words in heading===, and so on (a maximum of five levels is possible). Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are optional, and will not affect the way the heading is displayed. The heading must be typed on a separate line. Include one blank line above the heading, and optionally one blank line below it, for readability in the edit screen. (Only two or more consecutive blank lines will add more white space in the public appearance of the page.) | |||
The following points apply to in page headings: | |||
* Use ''sentence case'' for section headings — that is, the initial letter of a title is capitalized; otherwise, capital letters are used only where they would be used in a normal sentence. | |||
* Headings should not normally contain links, especially where only part of a heading is linked. | |||
* Section and subsection headings should preferably be unique within a page; otherwise section links may lead to the wrong place. | |||
=== Your "signature" === | |||
Leaving your signature next to a comment on a discussion page is essential so that other editors know who left the feedback or suggestion, and will know who to respond to. Clicking button #8 at the end of a comment in a discussion page will automatically leave four tilde marks (like this <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>), which when the page is saved, will be transcoded into the name and date of the signer. | |||
Typing: | |||
: </nowiki></code> | |||
