Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Headers

Headers

 * First topic we'll cover is headers.
 * These are the large printed words that head a section on the page.
 * You will notice a small edit box to the right edge of the page for the header. Put your mouse over it to see the word "edit."

Here are the different sizes of headers
Header One Header Two Header Three Header Four Header Five Header Six

Wiki code for headers
=Header One= ==Header Two== ===Header Three=== ====Header Four==== =====Header Five===== =====Header Six======
 * NOTICE "equal signs" on either side of the headers.
 * NOTICE the number of equal signs determines size of font.

Uses of Headers

 * Header One - are reserved only for titles of articles as you see in the title of this lesson. Please, don't use them in articles.
 * Header Two - can cause problems in formatting, so avoid them. This will be explained later in the course.
 * Header Three and Header Four are the best choices for creating headers in articles as you see in this lesson.
 * Header Five and Header Six are small and are rairly used, but they do have their uses.

Edit Boxes

 * When headers are created, a little edit box appears just to the right of the header.
 * Clicking on this allows one to edit the material under the header up and to the next header, but nothing else on the page.
 * This allows you to edit just what is needed rather than having to click on Edit this Page and then have to find it by going through the entire page of code.
 * To edit the entire page you have to click on the "Edit This Page" button at the top of the article.

 Exercises
 * To practice working with headers, create a sandbox page and call it FamilySearch Wiki Exercises. This will be a place to keep all your work from these lessons.  Example: User:johnsmith/sandbox/FamilySearch Wiki Exercises.
 * Try these these little exercises in your sandbox page:
 * 1) Make a title header from the words: "Kentucky Genealogy”
 * 2) Make a Header Three from the words: "History”
 * 3) Make a Header Three from the words; "Vital Records”
 * 4) Make a Header Four from the words: "Birth Certificates”
