Template:PD Help Page
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 ''this''.

Paragraphs
Template:Anchor 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 Template:Tag.
HTML tags
Template:Anchor Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example Template:Tag, [[w:Div and span|Template:Tag, and Template:Tag]]. These apply anywhere you insert them.

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) → when inserted will be shown as right arrow HTML symbol → and — when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol —.
| Á | á | Â | â | ´ | Æ | æ | À | à | ℵ | Α | α | & | ∧ | ∠ | Å | å | ≈ | Ã | ã | Ä | ä | „ | Β | β | ¦ | • | ∩ | Ç | ç | ¸ | ¢ |

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; 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)
- <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline>€</syntaxhighlight> → €
- <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline>Typo to be corrected</syntaxhighlight> → Typo to be corrected
- <syntaxhighlight lang=html inline><span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span></syntaxhighlight> → <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected</span>
Nowiki for HTML
Template:Tag can prohibit (HTML) tags:
- <<nowiki />pre> → <pre>
But not & symbol escapes:
- &<nowiki />amp; → &
To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<syntaxhighlight inline lang="html">&</syntaxhighlight>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<syntaxhighlight inline lang="html"> </syntaxhighlight>", which results in "<syntaxhighlight inline lang="html"> </syntaxhighlight>").
