Bold and italics: reworked some of the italics text

Most text '''formatting''' is usually done with Wiki markup, so people don't have to learn [[Wikipedia:HTML|HTML]].

==Wiki markup==
Writing for wikipedia articles is a bit different from writing on a standard word processor. Instead of a strict "what you see is what you get" approach, wiki uses simple text codes for formatting. The approach is similar to that used in writing HTML for web pages, but the codes are simpler.

The wiki can accept some [[Wikipedia:HTML|html]] tags directly, but most people use the built-in [[Wikipedia:wiki|wiki]] markup language, which is designed for ease of editing.

===Bold and italics===
The most commonly used wiki tags are '''bold''' and ''italics''. '''Bolding''' and ''italicizing'' is done by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes ('):

*<tt><nowiki>''italics''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as ''italics''. (2 apostrophes on either side)
*<tt><nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as '''bold'''. (3 apostrophes on either side)
*<tt><nowiki>'''''bolded italics'''''</nowiki></tt> is rendered as '''''bolded italics'''''. (2 + 3 = 5 apostrophes on either side)

A Wikipedia convention is to ''italicize'' book, movie and computer/video game titles. If the first mention of the subject of an article is also a book or movie title then ''italics'' are used. For example, the article ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' starts:

<blockquote>Please select a more precise entry:

*''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' series by [[Ronald D. Moore]] that began airing in late 2003.
*''[[Battlestar Galactica (mini-series)|Battlestar Galactica Mini-Series]]'' by [[Ronald D. Moore]] that was the backdoor pilot for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|series]].
*''[[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' created by [[Glen A. Larson]] that aired in 1978.</blockquote>

===Headings and subheadings===
Headings and subheadings are an easy way to improve the organization of an article. If you can see two or more distinct topics being discussed, you can break up your article by inserting a heading for each [[Wikipedia:section|section]].

Headings can be created like this:
*<tt><nowiki>==Top level heading==</nowiki></tt> (2 equals signs)
*<tt><nowiki>===Subheading===</nowiki></tt> (3 equals signs)
*<tt><nowiki>====Another level down====</nowiki></tt> (4 equals signs)
*<tt><nowiki>=====Another level down=====</nowiki></tt> (5 equals signs)

If an article has at least three headings, a table of contents will be automatically generated. Try creating a heading in this page's [[/sandbox/]]. It will be automatically added to the table of contents for the page. When you're done, click below to continue.
