text=This page covers all the start of line markup characters. If you are new to wiki markup, visit [[Edit Getting Started]] first. There are 2 kinds of line markup:%0a* ''simple'' (" " space, "!" exclamation mark, "*" asterisk, "#" number or pound sign)%0a* ''compound'' ("->" arrow, "-%3c" back arrow, ": ... :" colon-text-colon, "[=----=]" 4 hyphens)%0a%0a!!Simple line markup%0a%0aThese repeat the same markup character one or more times.%0a%0aTo make the sentence display in a ''typewriter'' (monospaced) font, start the line with a space (" ").%0a%0a Space before the first character of this sentence.%0aNo space before the first character of this one.%0a%0aTo make a ''heading'', start the line with one or more exclamation marks ("!"). These provide consistent, structured page layout, plus they're converted to code that internet search engines recognize as marking significant text. Some authors find the top level heading is too intrusive (and too like the page title), so prefer to start with the second level; few authors find a use for the sixth level.%0a%0a(:markup:)%0a! Top level heading%0a!! Second level heading%0a!!! Third%0a!!!! Fourth%0a!!!!! Fifth%0a!!!!!! Sixth%0a(:markupend:)%0a%0aTo produce a ''bullet list'', start the line with one or more asterisks (*). To produce a ''numbered list'', start the line with one or more number signs (#).
