Twic I allows you to put HTML-style headings in pages.
Simply prefix a paragraph with a number of equals signs. One equals sign gets you a big heading, more get you smaller ones. The technical maximum is seven, but if you're getting that far, you should probably be using several pages.
Examine the source for this page.
Standard <hN> tags are generated. A one-equals heading is <h2> (<h1> being reserved for the page title).
Don't go overboard! Wiki pages are typically fairly small, so that they don't need to be broken up with headings. Only in exceptional cases will you need many headings. Really consider breaking pages up if they have lots of headings.
One of the exceptional cases, in which lots of headings are allowed, is this page. Obviously.
The Fire Fly page could be edited to use headings, rather than bold lines.
That Wiki Text page is slouching towards update.pl to be created ...
I might well regret adding headings. A huge part of wiki is its simplicity; using bold lines for headings worked perfectly well, and didn't distract from the actual writing. It is possible that headings will distract people. This is more of a vague unease than a real concern, and i'll doubtless be proved wrong. -- TA
