== Page titles and in-page headings ==
=== Bulleted lists ===
Use bulleted lists to break up a list of items. Use numbered lists if the list is a series of steps.
Where the bulleted list has items that are less than a full sentence, use commas between the items, start each item with a lowercase letter, and use a conjunction after the second-to-last item. For example:
Use numbered lists if the list is a series of steps.
==Quotation marks==
=== Internal links ===
Make links only where they are relevant and helpful in the context; excessive use of hyperlinks can be distracting, and may slow the reader down.
=== External links ===
Minimize using external links in the main body of a page; include only external links that are to essential resources or information. For other external links, look to include those in an external links section at the end, pointing to further information outside Clicklaw Wikibooks. The standard format for making an external link is: :<code><nowiki>[http://www.courthouselibrary.ca Courthouse Libraries BC]</nowiki></code>:<code><nowiki>[http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/helpmap Clicklaw HelpMap]</nowiki></code> These will appear as: :* [http://www.courthouselibrary.ca Courthouse Libraries BC]:* [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/helpmap Clicklaw HelpMap] Where there is an external link that has a Clicklaw page, then link to the Clicklaw page. For example: :<code><nowiki>the fact sheet [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/resource/1012 "Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Benefit Application"]</nowiki></code> This will appear as::* the fact sheet [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/resource/1012 "Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Benefit Application"]
