View source for Basic wiki syntax

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

| Preformatted text blocks
| <pre>
<nowiki></nowiki> 
<nowiki>Start with a space in the first column,
(before the </nowiki> 
<nowiki>).

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</nowiki> 
<nowiki>Start with a space in the first column,
(before the </nowiki> 
<nowiki>).

Then your block format will be
    maintained.

        print True
    else:

== 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 <code>&lt;br /></code>.

== HTML tags ==

Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>&lt;code></code>, <code>&lt;div></code>, <code>
<nowiki><span></nowiki> </code> and <code>
<nowiki><font></nowiki> </code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

== 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 <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol &rarr; and '''&amp;mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol &mdash;
----
{{note|Hover any character to find out the symbol that produces it. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.}}

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article [[w: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 [[w:Right-to-left mark|right-to-left mark]].
