This is the page we send to anyone who wants to write for the terrace desk. Each section is named after the element it shows, and every example is a bit of Nordwand.

Heading level two

Match reports use level two for the sections readers jump to, such as the goals and the ratings.

Heading level three

Level three splits a long section, such as one ground in the away-day guide.

Heading level four

Level four is rare. We used it once, for the half-time scores in the cup.

Heading level five

Level five has never appeared in a real report.

Heading level six

Nor has level six, but it is here in case.

Paragraph with inline formats

Kessler scored the first, Amari the other two, and the referee gave a penalty a free kick on the line. The scoreboard was right this time. Write the score line as Nordtal FC | 3–1 | Weststadt. Pohl kept his 6th clean sheet, CO2 was not involved, and the kiosk ran out of sausages. The table is on the table page.

Bulleted list
