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 ''this''

Notes:

  • Use of a heading created by single equal signs is discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.
  • An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.

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 tag <br />.

HTML

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

Other formatting

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