| − | 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 <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>

| − | 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.

| − | == Paragraphs ==
| |
| − | MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tags <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == HTML ==
| |
| − | Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><nowiki><code></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><font></nowiki></code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.
