This is where I can play around with formatting, and test things out.

On Being Bold

1. Look at this sentence, and then look again in the Edit tab!
2. For a guide to Wikipedia Markup language, search Wikipedia for WP:Markup.
   1. If you can't remember the markup, there are some tools at the top of your edit window for text formatting. Examples include bold, italic, making links, Special ฿†¢€₥₮৳ Characters, all kinds of lists, and more. So you don't necessarily need to know the markup language to edit successfully!
3. I had fun building up my user page, but it's important to remember that Wikipedia is not a blog. Make sure your user page content is appropriate. And then have fun in your sandbox!
   1. In Wikipedia, usually people cite their sources using footnotes.
      1. I sort of winged this citation.
      2. For this footnote, I used Wikipedia's "Cite" function in the Edit tab, to guide the creation of my footnote. How does this footnote compare? You might need to look at this under the Edit tab to see all the differences!
