==Use of Italics and bold faced type==
When an important new concept or new term is introduced for the first time in an article, it should be placed in '''bold faced type'''. For example: Descartes' '''methodological skepticism''' was based on reason and on the capacity to doubt. Words or phrases may be placed in ''italics'' for emphasis. For example: The term scientonomy refers to the ''science of science''. Titles of books should also be ''italicized''. For example: Thomas Kuhn wrote ''The Structure of Scientific Revolutions''.
 
== Use of subheadings ==
The major headings for an article are pre-specified according to the type of article you are writing. To break a section into subheadings To add a subheading, enclose your subheading in three levels of equal signs:
 
<code><nowiki>=== Newton on Mathematics and Natural Philosophy ===</nowiki></code>
 
If you need deeper levels of subheadings, add another set of equals signs for each new level of subheadings.
 
<code><nowiki>==== Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation ====</nowiki></code>
 
<code><nowiki>===== What Newton wrote on page 23 of ''The Principia'' =====</nowiki></code>
