$wgRawHtml
Does the wgRawHtml variable still work?? I can't get it to work, and I am trying to add a form to my main page. -- annon 02:51, 27 July 2006


 * Yes $wgRawHtml should work still. See Manual:$wgRawHtml Note that it's a security risk (and not normally necessary)  -- Harry Wood 11:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Tables
It might be helpful to have a help page on how to construct a table, like the oh-so-pretty one on this page, ferinstance. If such a page exists, I cannot find it; there should be a link to it from this page if it does exist but is simply hiding from me. - UniqueCrash5  15:51, 6 December 2006


 * That's available at Help:Tables. Alternatively the big guide to tables on Meta tells you more than you need to know!
 * Yeah I agree we should link to Help:Tables (and various other advanced formatting info) from this page -- Harry Wood 11:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

What About An HTML Symbols Guide?
As an HTML duffer :&THORN; I like access to these symbols. How about either adding this to help:formatting, or posting the replacement technique is instead? What follows is my PD cheat sheet with the more popular symbols in mediawiki bold. I'll leave it here for a registered user to post if they are so moved. -

HTML tags for symbols: &Aacute; &amp;Aacute;, &aacute; &amp;aacute;, &Acirc; &amp;Acirc;, &acirc; &amp;acirc;, &acute; &amp;acute;, &AElig; &amp;AElig;, &aelig; &amp;aelig;, &Agrave; &amp;Agrave;, &agrave; &amp;agrave;, &alefsym; &amp;alefsym;, &Alpha; &amp;Alpha;, &alpha; &amp;alpha;, &amp; &amp;amp;, &and; &amp;and;, &ang; &amp;ang;, &Aring; &amp;Aring;, &aring; &amp;aring;, &asymp; &amp;asymp;, &Atilde;
