test section

trying to make sure this works.

pretty many editors have said they link dates in order to highlight them, so it seems like it would be useful to have a section in the essay to address that. with the idea of drafting a section like that, i was looking around the MoS for a policy/guideline discouraging that practice, but so far the closest i've found is WP:Manual of Style (text formatting), which isn't especially close. is there a more explicit statement somewhere in the MoS that links are not meant to be used for highlighting? or maybe it was regarded as a "do not shave the kitty" kind of thing ...

nice work, Greg

This is cogent and beautifully written. I'll be linking people to it. Thank you! Tony (talk) 10:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
