Good: The Background A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a fine young man unaware of various things about his past, including: the Force, what his father was up to, how to use a lightsaber. All that, however, was about to change. Three things were about to happen: he would discover the Force, he would learn how to use a lightsaber, and he would meet his father. The Update Long after this fellow lived, a famous movie was made about his life. The movie was shot in Tunisia.

Blockquotes  (and ) Things like letters, poems, long quotations should be wrapped in text text. Visionary feminism is a wise and loving politics. It is rooted in the love of male and female being, refusing to privilege one over the other.

Sometimes you want to explicitly specify that certain paragraphs should not be indented, as in the example below: Hamlet. But what is your affair in Elsinore? … Horatio. My lord, I came to see your father’s funeral. Hamlet. I pray thee, do not mock me, fellow-student; I think it was to see my mother’s wedding. You can do the above in the VISUAL editor by selecting the paragraphs you want not indented, then selecting No Indent from the ‘Formats’ dropdown. Lists (Bulleted and Numbered) Make sure lists are proper lists, so … Bullet/Unordered Lists item 1 item 2 Which will give you: item 1 item 2 Numbered/Ordered Lists item 1 item 2 Which will give you: item 1 item 2
