You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two single quotes like <tt><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></tt>

Comment

Notes:
  1. ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
  2. ↑ Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.

[edit] Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.

[edit] HTML

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.

Tools.png Tip for wiki admins: If you trust your users you can allow full HTML by setting $wgRawHtml = true; in LocalSettings.php.


[edit] Other formatting

Beyond the text formatting markup shown above, here are some other formatting references:
