Help:Formatting/sd

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.

Start each line with a space. Text is preformatted and markups can be done. (before the &lt;nowiki&gt;).
 * Preformatted text blocks
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;Start with a space in the first column,
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;Start with a space in the first column,

Then your block format will be   maintained.

This is good for copying in code blocks:

def function: """documentation string"""

if True: print True else: print False&lt;/nowiki&gt;

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 in a multitude of ways. Many 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 to insert them into the edit screen.

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 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)

 * &rarr; &amp;euro;


 * &rarr;  Typo to be corrected  


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

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