WikiToon:Formatting Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to format text, links, images, and other elements properly in WikiToon articles. Proper formatting ensures readability, consistency, and professionalism.

1. Basic Text Formatting

Use the following syntax for basic text formatting:

Bold text: `Bold` → Bold
Italic text: `Italic` → Italic
Bold and Italic: `BoldItalic` → BoldItalic
~~Strikethrough:~~ `~~Strikethrough~~` → ~~Strikethrough~~

2. Headings and Sections

Use headings to structure content properly:

= Main Title = (Page Title) == Section Title == (Level 2 Heading) === Subsection Title === (Level 3 Heading) ==== Sub-subsection Title ==== (Level 4 Heading)

Do not skip heading levels (e.g., avoid jumping from Level 2 to Level 4).
The page title (`= Title =`) should only be used once at the top.
