Editing
How to edit paragraphs:

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A: Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allow you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. However, be sure to review it and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and want to cite it again.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

Formatting
How to format text:

To format text in the visual editor, click the "A" button, highlight your text, and choose the format.


 * The "Bold" item (B) bolds the selected text.
 * The "Italic" item (I) italicizes the selected text.
 * The "Superscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than the surrounding text and slightly higher than the surrounding text.
 * The "Subscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and slightly lower than the surrounding text.
 * The "Strikethrough" item (S) adds a solid bar through the selected text.
 * The "Computer code" item (a set of curly brackets: {}) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text.
 * The "Underline" item (U) adds a solid line beneath the selected text.
 * The "Language" item (Aあ) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text.
 * The final item, "Clear styling" (  ⃠ ), removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links.

Citation Activity
This academic article focuses on the linguistic features of Bunuba, in particular it determines the syntactic alignment that is used when a sentence is constructed using an actor, and agent, and a verb.

This non-academic web page details the native title that was granted to the Bunuba People in 2016, and how the language is central to their identity.

It also provides historical background information on the Kimberley languages and the impact that Colonisation had on language survival and endangerment.

This book chapter gives detailed analyses of Bunuban grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and sociolinguistic use. It also provides two Dreamtime stories in Bunuban with interlinear glossing.

This non-academic source is a compilation of Dreamtime stories from Bunuba community Elders that have been published in Bunuba with English translations.
