#in front of them. - For subtitles, use
##, as so on for smaller headings, up to and including######. - For bullet points, use
*, and for indented bullets, increase the indent using the tab button on your keyboard. - For numbered lists, use the numbers/letters: e.g.

Note the requirement for spaces after each of the above items - for example:
### My Heading
* Numbered itemwill produce:

- Numbered item
Other formatting can be done with the following:

[text to show in article](URL) - To include an extra image (besides the cover image), use
{% include image.html id=ID_OF_IMAGE caption="IMAGE_CAPTION" copyright="IMAGE_COPYRIGHT" %}replacing ID_OF_IMAGE with a unique ID for the image in your article - start at 1 for the first image (excluding the cover image).
The cover image for your article must be a JPEG image, and have the jpg file extension. If your image is a PNG, you can convert it using an online tool. The file name must also be the same as your article’s file name. This will be provided to you when you download the file from this page. E.g. if the file you download from this page is news-article.md then your cover image must be news-article.jpg (capital letters DO matter).
Any extra images for your article must be in the format: ARTICLE_FILE_NAME--extra-IMAGE_ID.jpg, where you replace ARTICLE_FILE_NAME with the file name you used for the cover image, and IMAGE_ID with the ID you gave the image when you inserted it into your article’s body, as seen above. E.g.: news-article--extra-1.jpg .
