<!--T:1-->
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>.

== Inserting symbols == <!--T:132-->
<!--T:166-->
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 —. </translate>
----
{{note|<translate><!--T:134--> 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.</translate>}}

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article [[wikipedia:List of HTML entities|List of HTML entities]]. 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) == <!--T:142-->
:<code>&amp;euro;</code> → '''&euro;'''
:<code><span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"><translate><!--T:143--> Typo to be corrected</translate></span></code> → '''<span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"><translate!--T:144--> Typo to be corrected</span>''' :<code><!--T:144156--> <nowiki>&lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"> Typo to be corrected</translatespan></nowiki></code> → '''<span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"><!--T:145--> Typo to be corrected</span>'''
=== Nowiki for HTML === <!--T:146-->
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre> → <<nowiki/>pre>
* &<<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>").
