You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs 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 pairs of apostrophes like ''this''

Any other start ends the list. |
Numbered list |
# Start each line # with a [[Wikipedia:Number_sign|number sign]] (#). ## More number signs give deeper ### and deeper ### levels. # Line breaks <br />don't break levels. ### But jumping levels creates empty space. # Blank lines # end the list and start another. Any other start also ends the list. |

Mixture of different types of list |

Preformatted text | Start each line with a space. Text is '''preformatted''' and ''markups'' '''''can''''' be done. |
Start each line with a space. Text is preformatted and markups can be done. |
Preformatted text blocks | <nowiki>Start with a space in the first column, (before the <nowiki>). Then your block format will be maintained. This is good for copying in code blocks: def function(): """documentation string""" if True: print True else: print False</nowiki> |

Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <br />
.
HTML tags
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>
, <div>
, <span>
and <font>
. These apply anywhere you insert them.

Inserting symbols
Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted through a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) → when inserted will be shown as right arrow HTML symbol → and — when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol —.

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ;
and &رلم;
which are both considered equivalent to ‏
which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)
HTML tags and symbol entities displayed themselves (with and without interpreting them)
- &euro; → €
- <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span> → Typo to be corrected
- <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span> → <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span>
Nowiki for HTML
<nowiki /> can prohibit (HTML) tags:
- <<nowiki />pre> → <pre>
But not & symbol escapes:
- &<nowiki />amp; → &
To print & symbol escapes as text, use "&" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "&nbsp;", which results in " ").
