Please forgive me for being new. I'm not normally this perfectly ignorant.
I'm struggling with simple markups. So I refer to the 'Basic Editing' wiki
and see things which I try. Unfortunately there are problems. These
problems befuddle me as I think I have read the documentation correctly and
am applying the markups correctly. Until suddenly I had an epiphany of
understanding. *Blank lines are your friends! Use them often!*
Advice I would toss out to New Users like me:
If something isn't displaying the way you think it should
and the markups all look good, put some *blank lines*
into your page! Not the displayable blank lines using
markups '\\' and '\\\'. Rather, blank lines like
this and that
In some ways it is helpful to think of a blank line as a
terminator of the last markup instruction.
Here's an example of what was driving me completely NUTZ! Paste it into
your WikiSandbox to see what I mean.
