Paragraphs
To create a new paragraph, insert a blank line between two lines of text. If a blank line doesn't exist between two lines of wikitext, they will be combined into a single flowing paragraph.
If you leave leading whitespace at the beginning of a line, MediaWiki will render it as pre-formatted text. Beware of this. See below for more info.
Here's an example of how whitespace at the beginning of text (in this case, just a single space) will force mediawiki to render text as pre-formatted. This can be handy when you want it, and a pain when you don't want it -- so be aware of this feature!
example wikitext foobar
This will render as follows:
foobar
}}
This can rear its ugly head when specifying template parameters, so you will get this:
ugh!
...instead of this:
This looks much better!
By default, Table of Contents is disabled on the Funtoo wiki. If you would like to enable the TOC, you can place a __TOC__ on a blank line where you'd like the Table of Contents to appear, or place __FORCETOC__ on a blank line anywhere in the wikitext to force the TOC to appear at the top of the page.
