Help:Formatting/sk

Paragraphs
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.

HTML tags
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example,  ,   and. These apply anywhere you insert them. continued:

Inserting symbols
Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted through 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 right arrow HTML symbol &rarr; and &amp;mdash; when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol &mdash;.

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences:  and   which are both considered equivalent to   which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

HTML tags and symbol entities displayed themselves (with and without interpreting them)

 * &amp;amp;euro; &rarr; &amp;euro;


 * &lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected&lt;/span> &rarr;  Typo to be corrected 


 *  Typo to be corrected   &rarr; &lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected&lt;/span>

Nowiki for HTML
< nowiki /> can prohibit (HTML) tags: But not &amp; symbol escapes: To print &amp; symbol escapes as text, use "&amp;amp;" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "&amp;amp;nbsp;", which results in "&amp;nbsp;").
 * < pre> &rarr;
 * &< nowiki />amp; &rarr; &amp;
