{{PD Help Page}}

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>.

| <pre> &lt;nowiki&gt;
Start with a space in the first column,

Then your block format will be
    maintained.


This is good for copying in code blocks:


def function():
    """ documentation string"""

        print True
    else:
        print False&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== 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 <code>&lt;br /></code>.

== HTML tags == 


Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tvar|1>{{tag|code|open}}</>, <tvar|2>{{tag|div|open}}</>, and <tvar|3>{{tag|span|open}}</>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

== Inserting symbols == 


Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. 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) '''&amp;rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol &rarr; and '''&amp;mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol &mdash;. 
----
{{note|1= 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.}}

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>&amp;רלמ;</code> and <code>&amp;رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&amp;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;amp;euro;</code> &nbsp;&rarr; '''&amp;euro;'''

:<code>&lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"> Typo to be corrected&lt;/span></code> &nbsp;&rarr; '''<span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"> Typo to be corrected</span>'''

:<code> <nowiki>&amp;lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span></nowiki></code> &nbsp;&rarr; '''&lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;"> Typo to be corrected&lt;/span>'''

=== Nowiki for HTML === 

<<nowiki />nowiki />  can prohibit (HTML) tags:
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre> &nbsp;&rarr; <<nowiki/>pre>
 But ''not'' &amp; symbol escapes:
* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp; &nbsp;&rarr; &amp;

To print &amp; symbol escapes as text, use "<code>&amp;amp;</code>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<code>&amp;amp;nbsp;</code>", which results in "<code>&amp;nbsp;</code>").
