Body sections appear after the lead and table of contents (click on image for larger view). Headings introduce sections and subsections, clarify articles by breaking up text, organize content, and populate the table of contents. Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose.
A less common alternative is placing the table of contents on the right, using the template {}. If you look at the wikitext for Figure 13-13, you see the {} template at the top of the edit box.

The remainder of the article is typically divided into sections. Infoboxes, images, and related content in the lead section must be right-aligned.
The first is fairly straightforward: In editing mode, find where the cell starts, and add or change text. Adding a row isn't difficult either: In editing mode, find the row above or below where you want to add a row; copy that row and paste it into the table. Now you have two identical rows; edit one of them with the information you're adding.
Next, the control script serializes this data to the Live Clipboard XML format, which it sets as the value of the input element and selects. At this point, if the user issues a "copy" command via the context menu, browser edit menu, ctrl-C command etc., the selected contents of the input are put on the clipboard. Alternately, if the user issues ...
If you are new to Wikipedia, you might consider using the standard article format for your userpage initially. That should suffice while you're learning the ropes. If you don't have a user page yet and don't know how to create a page, then click on your user name at the top of the screen and follow the instructions (if the page already exists, your username will be blue instead of red).
