 Formatting a [[WikiIslam]] article differs from when writing on a standard word processor. Wikis use text codes to create particular elements of the page (e.g., headings). This markup language is known as wikitext (or wiki-markup) and is designed for ease of editing.
-== Font ==
+==Font==
 '''Bolding''' and ''italicizing'' are done by surrounding a word or phrase with multiple apostrophes (<tt>'</tt>):

+== In-line Citations ==
+===Single Citation===
+An example of a reference being made on a page:
+{| border="1" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0"
+|This is how to provide inline citations.<ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref>''(article text)''
+''(more article text)''
+<big>'''References'''</big>
+----
+<references group=""></references>
+|}Here is what has to be typed:
+::<code>This is how to provide inline citations.<nowiki><ref>This is the reference text. [http://example.com/ Links can also be provided]</ref></nowiki></code>
+At the end of an article, there should be a "References" heading and below that:
+::<code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code>
+The wiki will then automatically do everything else to produce the reference. To edit the reference section produced at the bottom, edit the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags.
+===Multiple Citations===
+For multiple citations of the same reference or footnote:
+::<code><nowiki><ref name="name here">details of the citation</ref></nowiki></code>
+Thereafter, the same footnote may be used multiple times by adding:
+::<code><nowiki><ref name="name here"></ref></nowiki></code>
+===Multi-Columned References===
+For ease of reading, when a page includes many citations, the standard <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template should be replaced by <code><nowiki>{{Reflist|30em}}</nowiki></code>  (for 10+ citations).
