Editing Help:Formatting

You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes, 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 apostrophes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.

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 <tvar name=1>{{tag|br|single}}</tvar>.

== Inserting symbols == <!--T:132-->

<!--T:133-->
Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[VisualEditor/Special characters|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen.

<!--T:166-->
As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&amp;rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol &rarr; and '''&amp;mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol &mdash;. </translate>
----
{{note|1=<translate><!--T:134--> Hover over any symbol to reveal the entity that produces it.  Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.</translate>}}

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article [[wikipedia:List of HTML entities|List of HTML entities]]. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: <code>&amp;רלמ;</code> and <code>&amp;رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&amp;rlm;</code> which is a [[wikipedia:Right-to-left mark|right-to-left mark]]. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

=== Nowiki for HTML === <!--T:146-->
</translate>
{{tag|nowiki|s}} <translate><!--T:147--> can prohibit (HTML) tags:</translate>
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre> &nbsp;&rarr; <<nowiki/>pre>
<translate><!--T:148--> But ''not'' &amp; symbol escapes:</translate>
* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp; &nbsp;&rarr; &<nowiki />amp;
<translate>
<!--T:149-->
To print &amp; symbol escapes as text, use "<tvar name=1><syntaxhighlight inline lang="html">&amp;</syntaxhighlight></tvar>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<tvar name=2><syntaxhighlight inline lang="html">&amp;nbsp;</syntaxhighlight></tvar>", which results in "<tvar name=3><syntaxhighlight inline lang="html">&nbsp;</syntaxhighlight></tvar>").
