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''

Comment

<!--This is 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 [Manual:$wgRawHtml] 
= true; in [Manual:LocalSettings.php]

.


[edit] Other formatting
