You can use <b>HTML tags</b>, too, if you
want. Some useful ways to use HTML:
 
Put text in a <tt>typewriter font</tt>. The same
font is generally used for <code>computer code</code>.
 
<strike>Strike out</strike> or <u>underline</u>text,
or write it <span style="font-variant:small-caps">
in small caps</span>.
 
Superscripts and subscripts:
X<sup>2</sup>, H<sub>2</sub>O
 
Invisible comments to editors ( <!-- --> ) only appear while editing the page. Eg:
<!-- Note to editors: blah blah blah. -->
 
If you wish to make comments to the public, you should usually go on the talk page, though.

For a list of HTML tags that are allowed, see [[Help:HTML in wikitext|HTML in wikitext]]. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.

<div style="font-size:150%;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;">Section headings</div>
 
''Headings'' organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a table of contents from them.
 
<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div>
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.
 
<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div>
 
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
 
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.
