 == The Table of Contents ==
-A table of contents automatically is created when there are three or more headers on a page. You can prevent a contents from appearing by adding <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> (stands for NO Table Of Contense) on the first line of the article. If you have an article with only two headers but you still want a table of contents you can force there to be one by adding <nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki> to the top of the page. The table of contents is by default put right before the first header in the article. You can make it appear in a different place by putting <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> in the place where you want it. Using <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> you can also make the table of contents appear on the right side or middle of an article instead of the default left side my putting it inside a table and aligning the table. Read how in the [[help:how to make tables|how to make tables]] article.

-You can format your page's text using something called wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special effect on the content. For example, to make a word italic, you include it in two single quotes like <nowiki>''this''</nowiki>.

+== Headers ==
-The thing above this is a header. Headers can be used to separate different sections of an article. Smaller headers can be used to separate sections of text under a larger header. There are 5 different sized headers. The level 1 header should never be used because it looks like the title of the article. So there are really just 4 levels of headers you can use. To make a header put equals signs around the name of the header like <nowiki>==This is a header==</nowiki>. The number of equals signs you put on either side is the same as the level of the header.
