no edit summary
Before you click 'Save page' you can 'preview' how your changes will appear. This helps to eliminate unnecessary mistakes. You can also leave a brief edit summary to explain what changes you have made and can check the 'minor edit' box if applicable (if you have only made minor changes that do not affect content, such as changing spelling or formatting).
===Spacing===
Spacing can make a difference. Make sure you start typing at the very edge of the page, so that there is no empty space, otherwise the layout will be changed. Spacing may also be significant to the layout when you are adding a website link (URL), refer below. You may need to click on the backspace button on your keyboard, in front of the enclosed website link, if the layout when you view the preview is not satisfactory.
===Paragraphs===
To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line by typing <nowiki><br></nowiki> at the start of the new line, or the end of the previous line.
===Toolbar on a page being edited===
A toolbar appears on every page being edited which includes functions such as ‘bold text’, ‘italic text’, ‘internal link’ etc. This is an alternative to typing the required symbols yourself.
==Headings==
*[[Help:Links]]
*[[Help:Images]]
*[[Help:Tables]]. For examples of tables, look at the structure in 'view source' mode of the tables in [[Newspapers and journals online]] and for a similar table with a heading on top, [[Stations of British Troops in India]]. For a different style of table with multiple categories per line , see [[Bengal Ecclesiastical Returns Index]] - the wording 'class="wikitable sortable"' produces a sortable heading and should be deleted if not required. The number in 'cell padding' determines the width of the space between lines. The higher the number, the wider the space.
