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><br />
<br />

== Paragraphs ==<br />
<br />
Mediawiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a newline with the HTML tag <tt><nowiki><br&nbsp;/></nowiki></tt>. <br />
<br />
== HTML ==<br />
<br />
Some HTML-Tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tt><nowiki><code></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><div></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><span></nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki><font></nowiki></tt>.<br />
<br />
{{Admin tip|tip=If you trust your users you can allow full HTML by setting <code>$wgRawHtml = true;</code> in LocalSettings.php. Switch off HTML completely with <code>$wgUserHtml = false;</code>}}<br />

== More advanced formatting ==<br />
Beyond the basic text formatting markup shown above, there are some more advanced formatting tricks:<br />
