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 <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>. == Text formatting markup ==  {| class="wikitable"!

To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <code> </code>. == HTML tags ==  Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><code></code>, <code><div></code>, and <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>.

Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[VisualEditor/Special characters|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen. As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol → and '''&mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol —. ----{{note| Hover over any character to find out the symbol that it produces. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.}} {| class="wikitable" align=center width=100%! colspan=32 | HTML symbol entities|- align=center| '''Á| '''á| '''Â| '''â| '''´| '''Æ| '''æ| '''À| '''à| '''&alefsym;| '''Α| '''α| '''&| '''&and;| '''&ang;| '''Å| '''å| '''≈| '''Ã| '''ã| '''Ä| '''ä| '''&bdquo;| '''Β| '''β| '''¦| '''•| '''∩| '''Ç| '''ç| '''¸| '''¢|- align=center| '''Χ| '''χ| '''&circ;| '''&clubs;| '''&cong;| '''©| '''&crarr;| '''∪| '''¤| '''&dagger;| '''&Dagger;| '''↓| '''&dArr;| '''°| '''Δ| '''δ| '''&diams;| '''÷| '''É| '''é| '''Ê| '''ê| '''È| '''è| '''∅| '''&emsp;| '''&ensp;| '''Ε| '''ε| '''&equiv;| '''Η| '''η|- align=center| '''Ð| '''ð| '''Ë| '''ë| '''€| '''∃| '''&fnof;| '''∀| '''½| '''¼| '''¾| '''&frasl;| '''Γ| '''γ| '''≥| '''>| '''↔| '''⇔| '''&hearts;| '''…| '''Í| '''í| '''Î| '''î| '''¡| '''Ì| '''ì| '''&image;| '''∞| '''∫| '''Ι| '''ι|- align=center| '''¿| '''∈| '''Ï| '''ï| '''Κ| '''κ| '''Λ| '''λ| '''&lang;| '''«| '''←| '''⇐| '''&lceil;| '''“| '''≤| '''&lfloor;| '''&lowast;| '''&loz;| '''&lrm;| '''&lsaquo;| '''‘| '''<| '''¯| '''—| '''µ| '''·| '''−| '''Μ| '''μ| '''∇| ''' | '''–|- align=center| '''≠| '''&ni;| '''¬| '''∉| '''&nsub;| '''Ñ| '''ñ| '''Ν| '''ν| '''Ó| '''ó| '''Ô| '''ô| '''&OElig;| '''&oelig;| '''Ò| '''ò| '''&oline;| '''Ω| '''ω| '''Ο| '''ο| '''&oplus;| '''&or;| '''ª| '''º| '''Ø| '''ø| '''Õ| '''õ| '''&otimes;| '''Ö|- align=center| '''ö| '''¶| '''∂| '''&permil;| '''&perp;| '''Φ| '''φ| '''Π| '''π| '''ϖ| '''±| '''£| '''′| '''″| '''∏| '''&prop;| '''Ψ| '''ψ| '''"| '''√| '''&rang;| '''»| '''→| '''⇒| '''&rceil;| '''”| '''&real;| '''®| '''&rfloor;| '''Ρ| '''ρ| '''&rlm;|- align=center| '''&rsaquo;| '''’| '''&sbquo;| '''&Scaron;| '''&scaron;| '''⋅| '''§| '''| '''Σ| '''σ| '''&sigmaf;| '''&sim;| '''&spades;| '''⊂| '''&sube;| '''∑| '''⊃| '''¹| '''²| '''³| '''&supe;| '''ß| '''Τ| '''τ| '''&there4;| '''Θ| '''θ| '''&thetasym;| ''' | '''Þ| '''þ| '''&tilde;|- align=center| '''×| '''™| '''Ú| '''ú| '''↑| '''&uArr;| '''Û| '''û| '''Ù| '''ù| '''¨| '''&upsih;| '''Υ| '''υ| '''Ü| '''ü| '''&weierp;| '''Ξ| '''ξ| '''Ý| '''ý| '''¥| '''ÿ| '''&Yuml;| '''Ζ| '''ζ| '''&zwj;| '''&zwnj;'''|} {| class="wikitable"!

Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: <code>&רלמ;</code> and <code>&رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&rlm;</code> which is a [[wikipedia:Right-to-left mark|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) ==  :<code>&amp;euro;</code>  → '''&euro;''' :<code> Typo to be corrected</code>  → ''' Typo to be corrected''' :<code> <nowiki>&lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</nowiki></code>  → ''' Typo to be corrected''' === Nowiki for HTML ===  <<nowiki />nowiki />  can prohibit (HTML) tags:* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre>  → <<nowiki/>pre> But ''not'' & symbol escapes:* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp;  → &To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<code>&amp;</code>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<code>&amp;nbsp;</code>", which results in "<code>&nbsp;</code>"). == Other formatting ==  Beyond the text formatting markup shown hereinbefore, here are some other formatting references: * {{ll|Help:Links|nsp=0}} * [[<tvar|lists>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Lists</>|Lists]] * {{ll|Help:Images|nsp=0}} * References - see [[<tvar|citephp>Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Cite/Cite.php</>|Extension:Cite/Cite.php]]* [[<tvar|tables>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tables</>|Tables]] You can find more references at [[<tvar|help-contents>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents</>|Help:Contents]].
