how to make carraige returns in quoted text
''For a more exhaustive list, see [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Help:Editing Editing help].''
'''I left lines between paragraphs of text, but my text is showing up as one big block. How do I fix it?'''
To make the wiki recognize single carraige returns, preface each paragraph (or each line, in a poem) with a colon, like this :Hi.
'''How do I make something bold or italicized?'''
'''How do I offset a block of text, like a long quotation from another source?'''
At the beginning of the text block, put the word <nowiki><blockquote between >< /nowiki>. At the end, put it between <nowiki></blockquote></ nowiki>. If the text block has multiple paragraphs, do this for each paragraph. '''What if I want to link to an article, but I don't want to or use the article's title or capitalization style colons as the linking word?''' Put this [[ | ]], with the actual title of the article in the space to the left of the line, and the words you want to appear in your article in the space to the right of the line. (The vertical line is often found below Backspace, and requires use of the Shift key.) '''How do I make a section within a page?''' Put two or more = signs on both sides of the section title. The more = signs, the smaller the title will be, and the more of a sub-subsection it is. '''How do I format something like a poem?''' To make the wiki recognize single carraige returns, preface each line with a colon, like this :Hidescribed above.
'''What if I want to format something and the answer isn't here?'''
Go to a page that has the formatting you want, click on "Edit page," and see how it works there. Then click "back" so you don't change anything about the page. If you think many people would like to know the answer, add it to this section.
