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 <tt><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></tt>

== Paragraphs ==

MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tag <tt><nowiki><br /></nowiki></tt>.

== HTML ==

Some HTML-Tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tt><nowiki><code></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><div></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki></nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki></nowiki></tt>.

{{Admin tip|tip=If you trust your users you can allow full HTML by setting <code>$wgRawHtml = true;</code> in LocalSettings.php.}}
