There is also a nice little '''Edit''' button next to all section headers.

=Table of Contents=

This should be generated once you have enough section headers. How do you start a new section? By making a header! How do you do that? Like so!

</nowiki>

Less highly ranked headers and their following sections will be nested within higher ranked sections. So '''Header 2''' will appear as a subsection of '''Header 1''''s section.

=Comments=

This is particularly useful when making a new language page on Linguifex, since it automatically generates some sections for you that you might not want to tackle right away, but might still want to keep track of for future reference.

=Tables=

Tables in HTML and Wiki format are ''always'' less intuitive than using a word processor or something like that. But you do have similar control. But you should plan your tables accordingly ahead of time, making sure they're formatted in a sane way you can easily make changes to later.

Let's say you just want a simple table '''''right now''''', you can do that easily just by going up to the top of the Linguifex editor pane, and clicking '''Advanced'''. At the very end of the icons that have now popped up, there is a table icon (as of 08:37, 9 March 2017 (CET) at least). This comes with checkboxes for various options, and the preview image will show you what they change. For now, let's make a 3x3 non-sortable table with headers and see what happens in the code!

===The Table Brackets===

  <nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki>

This just specifies which kind of table it is. There are different version with various colours out there in the wild, so if you see one on Linguifex that you like the look of, look at the '''class''' and see if you can replace your table's class with theirs.

===How Rows and Cells are Separated===

You'll have to decide in practice how you'll handle that.

''Note also that I didn't use a table header there, and just used the bare brackets. It's not as pretty though when it's rendered.''

===Header Cells===

! Header 4 || Normal 7 !! Header 5

===Spreading a Single Cell over Multiple Rows or Columns===

|-

! 2nd Row, 1st Cell !! 2nd Row, <u>''2nd''</u> Cell
