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''

[edit] Text formatting markup

Italic text ''italic'' italic
Bold text '''bold''' bold
Bold and italic '''''bold & italic''''' bold & italic

Headings of

different sizes <ref>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.</ref><ref>An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.</ref>

Notes:

[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>.

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