Basically, IntactiWiki articles should avoid using too much emphazing and highlighting of text. But sometimes, you may want to use ''italics'' or even '''bold''' text. Here is how:

== Mark up ==
=== Bold, italic ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Description
! What you type
! What you get
|-
| Italic || <nowiki>''Italic text''</nowiki> || ''Italic text''
|-
| Bold || <nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki> || '''Bold text'''
|-
| Bold & italic || <nowiki>'''''Bold & italic text'''''</nowiki> || '''''Bold & italic text'''''
|}

You find this information also in the top line of the article editor. Either write some text, select it and click the [B] or [''I''] icon on the left of the editor's toolbar, or click the Help link.

'''Note:''' Please avoid using the relevant HTML tags for mark up.

=== Underlined ===
Do. Not. Use. Underlined. Text. At. All.

== Lists ==
=== Bullet list ===
Bullet lists are simply created by starting a bullet list item line with the asterix character plus a space character (* ). Keep in mind that the asterix has to be the very first character in a line.

''Example:''
* Bulleted list item
* Another bulleted list item
* A third bulleted list item

=== Numbered list ===
Numbered lists are simply created by starting a numbered list item line with the hashtag character plus a space character (# ). Keep in mind that the hashtag has to be the very first character in a line.

''Example:''
# Numbered list item
# Another numbered list item
# A third numbered list item

== Advanced markup ==
You can the following features in the article editor's toolbar, too:

=== No wiki formatting ===
Sometimes, you want to show text which would be interpreted by the Wiki markup parser, but without the Wiki formatting. This is done by using the special '''&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;''' tags.

<pre>&lt;nowiki&gt;<nowiki>'''This text won't be shown in bold.'''</nowiki>&lt;/nowiki&gt;</pre>
''Result:'' <nowiki>'''This text won't be shown in bold.'''</nowiki>

=== HTML tags ===
You can use various HTML tags for further formatting, e.g. '''&lt;br&gt;''' for forced new lines, '''&lt;big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;''' for larger text, '''&lt;small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;''' for smaller text, '''&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;''' for superscript and '''&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;''' for subscript text. Basically, you should avoid these and let the Wiki formatting engine do its job.

=== Picture gallery ===
For your first picture gallery, use the relevant button in the editor's toolbar.

=== Redirect ===
For your first redirect article, use the relevant button in the editor's toolbar.

=== Table ===
For your first table, use the relevant button in the editor's toolbar.
