MACKXIMUS, where is your userpage with links and image?--MMBiology (talk) 00:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- If you need help adding an image to your userpage (part of this week's task), I've prepared a short essay here which will explain the basic process. Yunshui 雲水 10:57, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Lists
Hi MACKXIMUS. Having seen your ongoing draft, I thought you might appreciate a bit of info on list formatting in Wikipedia.
To create a numerical list, use the hash symbol. Writing this:
# First point
# Second point
## Subpoint of second point
### Sub-subpoint
### Second sub-subpoint
# Third point
will render in the text as this:
- First point
- Second point
- Subpoint of second point
- Sub-subpoint
- Second sub-subpoint
- Subpoint of second point
- Third point
If you want to create a bulleted list, use asterisks instead of hash marks:
* One
* Two
* Three
appears as:
- One
- Two
- Three
Hope this information is helpful, feel free to ask me for clarification if you need it. Yunshui 雲水 08:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
