You can also mark <del>deleted material</del> and

For backwards compatibility better combine this

the old <s><del>physical</del></s> markup.
 
 
 
* When editing regular Wikipedia articles, just make your changes and do not mark them up in any special way.
 
* When editing your own previous remarks in talk pages, it is sometimes appropriate to mark up deleted or inserted material.

*The latter methods of sub/superscripting cannot be used in the most general context, as they rely on Unicode support which may not be present on all users' machines. For the 1-2-3 superscripts, it is nevertheless preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it.

Headings

Top Level Headers

For a top-level heading, put it on a separate line surrounded by '=='. For example:

  = Introduction =

4Wz3mM <a href="http://vkcyrqywkien.com/">vkcyrqywkien</a>

AONQpw , [url=http://iipgveqxkdgu.com/]iipgveqxkdgu[/url], [link=http://gqtkzvezvwdh.com/]gqtkzvezvwdh[/link], http://ojpvottxqsuz.com/

Table of contents

At the current status of the wiki markup language, having at least four headers on a page triggers the table of contents (TOC) to appear in front of the first header Putting __TOC__ anywhere forces the TOC to appear at that point (instead of just before the first header). Putting __NOTOC__ anywhere forces the TOC to disappear.
