A matter of formatting characters

Hello Curiosity,

I noticed that the comments that you made in Talk:Colonization of the Moon were unusually formatted. So I thought you might not know a formatting instruction of two. This is something I failed to realize when I started to contribute to wikis. Leaving the first space in a line blank disables the previous formatting commands so I saw your comments on [[Talk:Colonization of the Moon]] in typewriter like font with no automatic word wrapping. To use the formatting previously selected for a page, put your first letter in the first space of the line. To indent an entire paragraph a few spaces put a colon (:) in the first space of the first line of the paragraph. The next paragraph begins after a pressing of the enter key (or line feed key).

To indent two, three or four times as far from the left margin use two, three, or four colons. To append your account name to a comment on a talk page, type four tilde characters ( ~~~~ ) at the end of the comment.

 How do you like Wikipedia editing so far?
