As described above, the parser support for DTDs depends on internal or external subsets of the XML file. This means that the XML file itself must either contain a DTD or must reference a DTD to make this work. If you want to validate an XML document against a DTD that is not referenced by the document itself, you can use the DTD class.so this is text even more text

You can italicize text by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.
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.
Subsection
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.
A smaller subsection
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

Organizing your writing — sections, paragraphs, lists and lines
What it looks like
What it looks like
- Sections and subsections
Start sections with header lines
Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them.
New section
Subsection
Sub-subsection
- Start with a second-level heading (==); don't use first-level headings (=).
- Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level).
- A table of contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections.
- If appropriate, place subsections in order. If listing countries, for example, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of OECD countries, or some random order.
- If you want to keep headings out of the TOC you have to use HTML heading tags and close them without using a slash e.g. <h4>heading too low level to be in the TOC of large page<h4>.

== New section == === Subsection === ==== Sub-subsection ====
What it looks like
A single newline has no effect on the layout.
But an empty line starts a new paragraph, or ends a list or indented part. (<p> disables this paragraphing until </p> or the end of the section)
(In Cologne Blue, two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines.)
A semicolon at the start of a line is not rendered, but has the effect of rendering the newline. A colon in such a line is not rendered, but has the effect of starting a new, indented line, see definition list.
You can make the wikitext more readable by putting in newlines. You might find this causes future problems—see w:Wikipedia:Don't use line breaks for details.
- When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (See Help:List).

A single newline has no effect on the layout. But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

Emphasize (italics), strongly (bold), very strongly (bold italics).
(These are double and triple apostrophes, not double quotes.)
Note: this can also be applied to links (e.g., Wikipedia).
''Emphasize'', '''strongly''', '''''very strongly'''''. ''[[Wikipedia]]''
What it looks like
You can also write italic and bold.
This is useful in mathematical formulas where you need specific font styles rather than emphasis.
- F = ma
(The difference between these two methods is not very important for graphical browsers, so most people ignore it). But it may make a big difference for the visually impaired ;-)
You can also write <i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b>. This is useful in mathematical formulas where you need specific font styles rather than emphasis. : <b>F</b> = <i>m</i><b>a</b>
