~~NOTOC~~
/*
This is a comment that won't show on the page once it's saved. It's useful to add remarks that only the editors can see. I'll be adding comments throughout so that it shows in the video but not in the output page.
So first comment is: adding ~~NOTOC~~ at the top of the page suppresses the Table of Contents. On regular pages, we usually want a table of contents, but on News Items, they just add clutter.
Now exiting the comments section and going back to the regular page:

This is a right-aligned picture and the text is showing on the left. I'm adding a bunch of extra lines after this using ''%%\\%%'' so that the next picture shows below instead of on the left with the text.

/*
The syntax for files is very close to that of links, except that it uses curly brackets instead of square brackets.
The text before the filename (separated by :) shows where in the file structure the file is saved. That way pages can link to files uploaded for other files

As a whole line using two ''$$'' signs:
\$$
\frac{\sin{x}}{n} = 6 \qquad \text{(``six'' get it?)}
\$$
Or inline using only one ''$'' sign: \$ \frac{\sin{x}}{n} = 6 \qquad \$
