Line 1:
Line 1: <HalfLeft>Rainwater harvesting is the ancient practice of collecting and storing rainwater for later use. Roof runoff is directed into a rain barrel Figure 1 or underground storage tank (i.e. cistern) via downspouts from eavestroughs or roof drains and used for purposes not requiring potable water (e.g. garden irrigation, outdoor/vehicle washing, toilet flushing, fire suppression).
Rainwater harvesting reduces the volume of water that enters the municipal storm sewer system during wet weather, which frees up capacity for conveyance, storage and treatment in downstream stormwater infrastructure. It also conserves treated drinking water which provides cost savings to municipalities through reduced demand for municipally-supplied water and to property owners through lower water bills.
Rainwater is a better water source for irrigating vegetable gardens and landscaping because it does not contain residual chlorine and disinfection by-products found in municipally supplied drinking water. To maximize the runoff reduction and water conservation benefits it is best to substantially or fully drain rain barrels and cisterns between storms.</HalfLeft>

no edit summary
See how the contents list is populated with the headers automatically. I usually constrain them to level 2 headers (see the .docx file)
==level 2 header with 'edit' uses two 'equals' signs==
*bullet item 1
*bullet item 2
The level 3 header is further down (to demonstrate the function of the 'edit')
#numbered list item 1
**level 1A
**level 1B
#numbered list item 2

[http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/ I'm a link to the external page "http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/"]
The number 1 at the end of this line is also a link to sustainabletechnologies. Only I didn't give it alternative text to show you.[http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/]

Click on the 'edit'. See how it breaks the page down into more manageable sections for editing!
