Wiki markup allows you to format text using normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes, or equal signs, which have special functions in the wiki. This guide covers essential text formatting techniques to make your content more SEO-friendly and user-friendly.
Character Formatting
- **Italic text**: Enclose the text in double apostrophes, like this: `italic`
- Example: This text is *italic*.
- **Bold text**: Enclose the text in triple apostrophes, like this: `bold`
- Example: This text is **bold**.
- **Bold and italic text**: Enclose the text in five apostrophes, like this: `bold & italic`
- Example: This text is ***bold & italic***.
Section Formatting
To create section headings of different levels, use equal signs (`=`) at the beginning of the line. Skip Level 1 as it is the page name level.
To maintain the format of a block of text, start each line with a space.
- Example:
Start each line with a space.
Text is preformatted and
markups can be done.
Paragraphs and Line Breaks
MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. Use the HTML tag ` ` to force a line break within a paragraph.
HTML Tags
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, such as ``, `
`, and ``. These apply anywhere you insert them.
- **Inserted text**: Use `` or ``
- Example: `Inserted` or `Underline`
- **Deleted text**: Use `` or ``
- Example: `Strike-through` or `Deleted`
- **Fixed width text**: Use ``
- Example: `Source code`
- **Blockquotes**: Use `
`
- Example:
Text before
Blockquote
Text after
- **Quotes**: Use ``
- Example: `This is a quotation`
- **Comments**: Use ``
- Example: ``
Symbols and Special Characters
Special characters can be inserted using HTML symbol entities. For example:
- Rightwards arrow: `→` → →
- Em dash: `—` → —
Images
To display an image to the right, use the `right` option.
- Example:
