==Level headings==
Level headings are surrounded by one or more '<tt>=</tt>' symbols.  Each level has one more '<tt>=</tt>' than the higher level.

==Latex math==
 +
 +
Equations can be entered using a subset of the Latex math-mode tags, such as the following:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
<math>\Delta I = ^-2</math>
 +
 +
<math>\xi=1.4</math>
 +
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Each formula is rendered either as HTML for simple formulas that can be typed into a single line
 +
 +
<math>\Delta I = ^-2</math>
 +
 +
<math>\xi=1.4</math>
 +
 +
or into a PNG image for complex formulas, e.g. involving fractions.
 +
 +
Formatting of complex equations has been fixed (August 2011).  The wiki will now render nearly any proper Latex formula.  Examples:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
<math>
 +
\langle I_f\|E2\| I_i\rangle=\biggl[-\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\|+\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\|\biggr]\widehat{E2}
 +
\biggl[\alpha_i\|I_i K=5\rangle+\beta_i\|I_i K=6\rangle\biggr]=
 +
</math>
 +
<math>
 +
-\alpha_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle+\alpha_f\beta_i\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle
 +
</math>
 +
<math>
 +
-\beta_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle+\alpha_i\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle
 +
</math>
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
<math>
 +
\langle I_f\|E2\| I_i\rangle=\biggl[-\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\|+\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\|\biggr]\widehat{E2}
 +
\biggl[\alpha_i\|I_i K=5\rangle+\beta_i\|I_i K=6\rangle\biggr]=
 +
</math>
 +
<math>
 +
-\alpha_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle+\alpha_f\beta_i\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle
 +
</math>
 +
<math>
 +
-\beta_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle+\alpha_i\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle
 +
</math>
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
<math>
 +
f(x)=\frac{\int_a^b e^{-x^2} dx}{\frac{x}{x+\frac{1}{x+2}}}
 +
</math>
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
<math>
 +
f(x)=\frac{\int_a^b e^{-x^2} dx}{\frac{x}{x+\frac{1}{x+2}}}

==Footnoting==
 +
 +
Enter text to be included in footnotes as in the following example:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
The semiclassical Coulomb excitation theory is appropriate
 +
for multi-step heavy-ion excitations.<ref>The applicability
 +
of first and second order perturbation theories is limited
 +
to light-ion induced Coulomb excitation.</ref>
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
which produces the text:
 +
 +
The semiclassical Coulomb excitation theory is appropriate for multi-step heavy-ion excitations.<ref>The applicability of first and second order perturbation theories is limited to light-ion induced Coulomb excitation.</ref>
 +
 +
and the footnote at the end of this page.
 +
 +
Every page which has one or more footnotes must have the tag
 +
<pre>
 +
<references/>
 +
</pre>
 +
to tell MediaWiki where to put the footnotes.  This should be in the last section of the page, titled <nowiki>"Notes"</nowiki>.
 +
 +
