Adding sections, bullets, text formatting, and links in 'raw' format

{{TableOfContents}}

This page describes how to use the TBwiki markup language to make the
formatting of your page look good.

When you edit your page, you may want to organize your text.

= Sections =
To create a section heading in tbwiki, you put the heading on 
a line of it's own, and put one or more equals signs (=) around it.
For a first-level heading, you use 1 equals sign on each side.

Like this:
{{{#!YellowBox
 = Heading 1 =
}}}

For a second-level heading, you use 2 equals signs on each side, like this:
{{{#!YellowBox
 == Heading 2 ==
}}}

If you used these headings (and one more, level 3 heading) in this document, it would look like this:

= Heading 1 =
== Heading 2 ==
=== Heading 3 ===

= Bullets =
To create a list of bullets in tbwiki, you use indentation (on or more spaces
at the beginning of the line) and an asterisk, followed by the line to be indented.  This is done for each item in the list.

So the following:
{{{#!YellowBox
 * this is bullet one
   * this is a sub-bullet
 * this is bullet two
}}}
will be displayed by the wiki software like this:

 * this is bullet one
   * this is a sub-bullet
 * this is bullet two

= Text formatting =
You can format text in '''bold''' and ''italic''.

This is done using either 3 or 2 single-quotes around the text to
be bolded or italicized. The number of single-quotes must be
the same at the beginning and end of the word or phrase to be
formatted.

So this:
{{{#!YellowBox
This sentence has some '''bold words''' and some ''italic words''.
}}}
would result in this:

This sentence has some '''bold words''' and some ''italic words''.

= Links =
There are two types of web links you can create on your page:
 * links to pages on this site
 * links to other web sites

To create a link to a page on this site, just put the page name
inside double square brackets, like so [''''''[Front Page]''''''].
This example will create a link to the [[Front Page]] of this wiki.

To create a link to a page on another web site, you just have to put the
link, exactly as it appears in your browser bar, into the text.

For example, if you wanted to put a link to the page on Scouting on
the Wikipedia web site, you could put this exact text on your page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting

The wiki system will automatically turn this into a clickable link
for you.

= extra features =
== Tables ==
''To be described soon.''
== Blocks ==
''To be described soon.''
== Highlighted blocks ==
''To be described soon.''
