3 apostrophes will embolden the text.

5 apostrophes will embolden and italicize the text.

(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just 'one left over'.)

Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them.

Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.
