Creation and numbering of sections

Sections are created by creating their headings, as below:

==Section==

===Subsection=== 

====Sub-subsection====

Please do not use only one equals sign on a side (=text here=); this causes a title the size of the page name, which is taken care of automatically.

  • Section names should preferably be unique within a page. This applies even for the names of subsections.

Section linking

  • To link to a section in the same page use [[#section name|displayed text]].
  • To link to a section in another page use [[page name#section name|displayed text]].

Section editing

Sections can be separately edited by clicking special edit links labeled "[edit]" by the section heading.

  • This is convenient if the edit does not involve other sections and one needs not have the text of other sections at hand during the edit (or if one needs it, open the section edit link in a new window, or during section editing, open the main page in a different window).
  • Inserting a section can be done by editing either the section before or after it, merging with the previous section by deleting the heading.

Preview

The preview in section editing does not always show the same as the corresponding part of the full page, e.g. if on the full page an image in the previous section intrudes into the section concerned.
