Formatting text in KNILT
Creating sections and Tables of Contents
You can divide your KNILT pages into sections by using 2-6 equal (=) signs. You can also create Tables of Contents for your pages. This video shows you how to do both.
Formatting text and creating lists
KNILT allows you to format text using icons on an editing toolbar or by typing MediaWiki commands directly. MediaWiki formats individual words and groups of words in boldface, italics, or both using combinations of single apostrophes.
- two single apostrophes ('') on each side of one or more words italicizes them
- three single apostrophes (''') on each side of them makes them boldface
- five single apostrophes (''''') on each side of italicizes them in boldface
