Page structure in the old editor
For information on headings and how to use them in the new editor, see Formatting text.
Clusters and headings
Add headings to divide a page into clusters. To format the heading, insert 1 to 6 # symbols and a space before the heading text. The heading level changes based on how many # symbols you type.
You can use a different markup style for the first- and second-level headings:
-
For the first-level heading, insert any number of
=symbols in the line following the heading. -
For the second-level heading, insert any number of hyphens
-in the line following the heading.
# First-level header
First-level header======## Second-level header
Second-level header--------------### Third-level header#### Fourth-level header
Getting a link to a cluster
-
Hover over the cluster title and click § that appears to the right of the title.
-
Copy the cluster address from the browser's address bar.
For more information, see Bookmarks on pages.
Paragraphs
To start a new paragraph, insert an empty line after the previous one:
First line of the paragraph.
Second line of the paragraph.
New paragraph.
Tip
To add multiple empty lines between text blocks, use a \ backslash at the beginning of each empty line.
Margins
-
Indents created with spaces at the beginning of the line are used for formatting lists of the second and third levels.
-
If you add spaces to the beginning of a paragraph, they will be ignored. The paragraph will be displayed without indentation.
-
To indent a paragraph, insert a few non-breaking spaces using the code
.
Horizontal line
-
To insert a horizontal line between parts of the text, insert three or more hyphens
-,asterisks
*, underscores_in a row on an empty line. -
If you use hyphens, add an empty line before the line. Otherwise the previous line will turn into a heading.
