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>. == Text formatting markup == {| class="wikitable" !

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>.
