    You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes 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 single quotes like ''this''.

    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 <br/>.

    Preformatted text 
     Start each line with a space.
 Text is '''preformatted''' and
 ''markups'' '''''can''''' be done

    Note: This way of preformatting only applies to section formatting. Character formatting markups are still effective. 

    Start each line with a space.
Text is preformatted and
markups can be done
    Preformatted text blocks 
     <nowiki>Start with a space in the first column,
(before the <nowiki>).

Then your block format will be
    maintained.

This is good for copying in code blocks:

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

    if True:
        print True
    else:
        print False</nowiki>

    Start with a space in the first column.
(before the <nowiki>).

    maintained.

def function():

    if True:

    HTML tags

    Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

    Description You type You get

    <ins>Inserted</ins>

or

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Underline</span>

    Completely preformatted text 
    <pre> Text is '''preformatted''' and
''markups'' '''''cannot''''' be done</pre>

    Note: For marking up of preformatted text, check the "Preformatted text" entry at the bottom of the previous table. 

     Text is '''preformatted''' and
''markups'' '''''cannot''''' be done
    Customized preformatted text 
    <pre style="color:red">
Text is '''preformatted'''
with a style and
''markups'' '''''cannot''''' be done
</pre>

    Note: A CSS style can be named within the style property. 

    Text is '''preformatted'''

''markups'' '''''cannot''''' be done
    Customized preformatted text with text warp according to screen width 
    <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">This long sentence is to demonstrate text wrapping. </pre>
    		 
    This long sentence is to demonstrate text wrapping.

    Inserting symbols

    Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted through a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML Entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) &rarr; when inserted will be shown as right arrow HTML symbol → and &mdash; when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol —

    Hover over any character to find out the symbol that produces it.

    Note: some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.

    See the list of all XML and HTML entities on the Wikipedia article list of XML and HTML character entity references. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to &rlm; which is a right-to-left mark (Used when combining right to left languages with left or right languages in the same page)
