Here you'll learn the basics of article '''formatting'''.
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 <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.
{|align="center" style="width:100%; border:2px #a3b1bf solid; background:#f5faff; text-align:left;"

== 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><br /></code>.
== HTML tags ==
Some [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><code></code>, <code><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) '''&rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol → and '''&mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol —.

__NOEDITSECTION__
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>&רלמ;</code> and <code>&رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&rlm;</code> which is a [[w:Right-to-left mark|right-to-left mark]]. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)
__NOTOC__
[[Category:Help|{{PAGENAME}}]]
== HTML tags and symbol entities displayed themselves (with and without interpreting them) ==
:<tt>&amp;euro;</tt> → '''&euro;'''
:<tt><span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span></tt> → '''<span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span>'''
:<tt>&lt;span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected&lt;/span></tt> → '''<span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span>'''
=== Nowiki for HTML ===
<<nowiki />nowiki /> can prohibit (HTML) tags:
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre> → <<nowiki/>pre>
But ''not'' & symbol escapes:
* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp; → &
To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<tt>&amp;</tt>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<tt>&amp;nbsp;</tt>", which results in "<tt>&nbsp;</tt>").
