| 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>

| == 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><br /></code>.
| |
| | |
| == HTML ==
| |
| Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><code></code>, <code><div></code>, <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><font></nowiki></code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.
