It is often useful to divide articles into sections and subsections. The following markup can be used. You must begin these on a new line.

== Code Examples ==
== Preformatted text==
Text which does not begin in the first column will be shown indented, in a fixed width font. This is appropriate for showing computer code or command examples, such as this famous little program:
Text which does not begin in the first column of the wiki editing box will be shown indented, in a fixed width font.
For example, this line was preceded by a single space. It preserves whitespace formatting: A B C D E F G H I
A single paragraph of text can be entered with a space in column 1 (the first character position in the wiki editing box) of every line to preserve the raw text format of the entry.
For example, this block of lines was
entered with 4 spaces before each line.
A B C D E F G H I
The parser tags {{Code|<nowiki><pre> and </pre></nowiki>}} may be entered before and after blocks of preformatted text to preserve the raw format of the text. This is suitable for chat transcripts such as [[Design_Team/Meetings/2009-03-01]].
=== Line wrapping ===
Line wrapping can be adjusted with the style property '''white-space''' (See http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_white-space.asp)
* With this tag and style, {{Code|<nowiki><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"></nowiki>}}, whitespace is preserved by the browser. Text will wrap when necessary, and on line breaks.
=== Code Examples ===
Raw text is appropriate for showing computer code or command examples, such as this famous little program:
main(){
main(){
}
}
Coding format may be embedded in a line of regular text with the <nowiki><code></nowiki><code>code text</code><nowiki></code></nowiki> wiki syntax.
* Coding format may be embedded in a line of regular text with the <nowiki><code></nowiki><code>code text</code><nowiki></code></nowiki> wiki syntax.
* Blocks of pre-existing code (often with structured linebreaks) may be preserved by entering a space before <code> <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> in the first wiki page column as in this example:
<nowiki><nowiki>class DatastoreResultSet(BaseResultSet):
"""Encapsulates the result of a query on the datastore
"""
def __init__(self, query, page_size):
if query.get('query', '') and not query['query'].startswith('"'):
query_text = ''
words = query['query'].split(' ')
for word in words:
if word:
if query_text:
query_text += ' '
query_text += word + '*'
query['query'] = query_text
BaseResultSet.__init__(self, query, page_size)
def find(self, query):
entries, total_count = _get_datastore().find(query, PROPERTIES,
byte_arrays=True)
for entry in entries:
entry['mountpoint'] = '/'
return entries, total_count</nowiki></nowiki>
The result looks like the following:
<nowiki>class DatastoreResultSet(BaseResultSet):
"""Encapsulates the result of a query on the datastore
"""
def __init__(self, query, page_size):
if query.get('query', '') and not query['query'].startswith('"'):
query_text = ''
words = query['query'].split(' ')
for word in words:
if word:
if query_text:
query_text += ' '
query_text += word + '*'
query['query'] = query_text
BaseResultSet.__init__(self, query, page_size)
def find(self, query):
entries, total_count = _get_datastore().find(query, PROPERTIES,
byte_arrays=True)
for entry in entries:
entry['mountpoint'] = '/'
return entries, total_count</nowiki>

Another tool that helps make the wiki more readily navigable is the use of templates (Please select the Template namespace in the pull-down menu on the [[Special:Allpages]] page to view the current list of available templates). Templates provide a consistent look to pages as well as a shorthand for communicating things like <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Requesttranslation}}</nowiki>. Feel free to ask for help ([[Help_talk:Formatting|here]]) regarding creating new templates you may need.

We have a mechanism for maintaining multilingual versions of pages in the wiki. Please see [[Translation Team/Wiki Translation]] for more information about translations. We also recommend the use of the Google machine translation for pages that have yet to be translated by a human expert. To use the Google translation, simply include the following at the top of your page:
