The difference is that the "header" format uses equal signs, like this: <code>===Header Title===</code> (in wikitext). Click on wikitext view and you'll be able to see the difference. For short articles (no major scrolling) this isn't too big a deal. But for long ones where there is lots of scrolling, this helps break the text apart and it lets the website automatically create a "table of contents" with links to different parts of the article (like the one you see at the top of this page).

Using Headings

Kryne, on long articles it is good to set sections apart by using the "heading" format instead of just bold text. Here's what this looks like:


Normal heading format you use now (just bold text)

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs.

Built in "header" format

The difference is that the "header" format uses equal signs, like this: ====Header Title==== (in wikitext). Click on wikitext view and you'll be able to see the difference. For short articles (no major scrolling) this isn't too big a deal. But for long ones where there is lots of scrolling, this helps break the text apart and it lets the website automatically create a "table of contents" with links to different parts of the article (like the one you see at the top of this page).


Using Citations

Sometimes articles make you use citations. There is a built-in technology for this on our website which makes it very usable for readers. Wherever you want to insert your footnote (the number), click your mouse there and then hit the "<R>" button in the toolbar. A window will pop up, and in there you just type the reference, for instance Grudem, Wayne. Systematic Theology. Page 71. Hit "enter" and it will insert the footnote for you. The SECOND step is then at the very end of the article to insert this code: <references />. This will be the very last thing in the article. That will create a  footnote like this [1], and you can see how the <references /> tag looks at the very bottom of this page.
