Headings

Headings make the text more structured and they make it easier to read.

Text's appearance

Bolding

Italic text

''Italic text'', or <i>Italic text</i>

Underlining

Example:

Underlined word

<u>Underlined word</u>

Indentations

Indentations make the text easier to read and they clarify the structure of the text. Indentations can be used to emphasize and clarify parts of the text.

Example: This is normal text.

This has been indented.

This is a double indentation.

Code for indentations:

This is normal text.
:This has been indented.
::This is a double indentation.

Lists

It's easy to list facts in order using lists. You can also write lists without a specific order.

Listing goes like this:

Ordinary list:

• This is a thing.
• This is another thing.
  • This is a corrective or a differentiation of the previous thing.

Code:

*This is a thing
 *This is another thing
 **This is a corrective or a differentiation for the previous thing.
 

Numbered list:

1. This is the first thing.
2. This is the second thing
   1. This is the first correctice of the second thing.

Code:

#This is the first thing.
 #This is the second thing
 ##This is the first corrective of the second thing.
 

You can also combine lists like this:

• This is a thing
  1. This is it's first clarification
     • This is a corrective of the first corrective

Code:

*This is a thing
 *#This is it's first clarification
 *#*This is a corrective of the first corrective
