It's much easier to change a font's style, such as into '''bold''' or ''italic'', using the [[wikipedia:WYSIWYG|WYSIWYG]] interface. But we do have a few NETwiki standards for these font styles to help keep our wiki readable. | It's much easier to change a font's style, such as into '''bold''' or ''italic'', using the [[wikipedia:WYSIWYG|WYSIWYG]] interface.

=== Referring to a main article === | |||
NETwiki follows the standard found in Wikipedia: offset in italic with a link to the main article. For example: | |||
:''Main article: [[Background Checks|Criminal Background Checks]]'' | |||
The markup to do something like that looks like this (note particularly the colon at the start of the line, which adds an indent): | |||
<pre> | |||
:''Main article: [[Background Checks|Criminal Background Checks]]'' | |||
</pre> | |||

That much is fairly simple. But say you want to cite the same footnote more than once. To do that, you have to assign a name to the reference. Click on the demonstration page above to see the code for it. | That much is fairly simple. But say you want to cite the same footnote more than once.
