You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 
apostrophes on each side. 

3 apostrophes will embolden '''the text'''. 

5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize 
'''''the text'''''.

(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just ''''one left over''''.)

You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:
* Three tildes give your user name: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]])<br />
* Four tildes give your user name plus date/time: [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
* Five tildes give the date/time alone: 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid rgb(170,170,170);">Section headings</div>

''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a table of contents from them.

<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div>
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div>

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

* ''Unordered lists'' are easy to do:
** Start every line with a star.
*** More stars indicate a deeper level.
*: Previous item continues.
** A new line
* in a list  
marks the end of the list.
*Of course you can start again.
