At the very top of an article is the lead section;the name of the article is always bolded. Bolding is done by putting three apostrophes on each side of the text. Except for the article name, it is rarely used in articles.

Section heading, level 2
A "level 2" heading is one with a pair of equal signs on each side. it's the highest level used in articles. If you enter a level 1 heading, it will work, but you would be wrong to do so.

Section heading, level 3
Level 2 and level 3 headings are very common in articles. Level 4 is less common; level 5 and level 6 are not used. Level 3 and Level 4 headings are sometimes called "subsection headings".

Another subsection
Next, let's italicize some text by putting two apostrophes on each side. Italicizing text is typically used for the name of a newspaper or magazine; it's almost never used in  articles  for emphasis, because emphasis isn't the neutral point of view that Wikipedia strives for.

Another level 2 section heading
Normally, only the  first  word in any section heading is capitalized.
