For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see [[Help:HTML in wikitext|HTML in wikitext]]. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.

<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;">Section headings</div>
''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a [[Help:table of contents|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 [[Help:List|list]]s'' are easy to do:
** Start every line with a star.
*** More stars indicate a deeper level.
* A newline
* in a list
marks the end of the list.
*Of course you can start again.

Another kind of list is a ''definition list'':
; Word : Definition of the word
; Here is a longer phrase that needs a definition
: Phrase defined
; A word : Which has a definition
: Also a second one
: And even a third

: A colon (:) indents a line or paragraph.
A newline after that starts a new paragraph. <br>
This is often used for discussion on [[talk pages]].
: We use 1 colon to indent once.
:: We use 2 colons to indent twice.
::: We use 3 colons to indent 3 times, and so on.

You can make [[w:horizontal dividing line|horizontal dividing line]]s (----)
to separate text.

But you should usually use sections instead,
so that they go in the table of contents.

|Sometimes you may need to reference or add supplementary notes to your sentences.
We may use the ref or refun tag. Eg: <br>
There are XX numbers of people in the world.<ref>The source is quoted from ...</ref> <br>
Reference: <references/>
For details, see [[Wikipedia:Footnotes]] & [[Help:Footnotes]].
