WikiIslam:Source Editing
|
Formatting a WikiIslam article differs from writing on a standard word processor. Wikis use text codes to create particular elements of the page (e.g., headings). This markup language is known as wikitext (or wiki-markup) and is designed for ease of editing.
Layout
Emphasis
Bolding and italicizing are done by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes ('):
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| ''italic'' | italic |
|
'''bold''' |
bold |
|
'''''bold italic''''' |
bold italic |
Bold emphasis should only be used within quotation boxes or when the name of an article's subject in an encyclopedic page is first mentioned. In all other cases, italics should be used when emphasis is needed (this should be used sparingly and only when absolutely needed).
