Text formatting markup

This is just a short help. Find the full version here.

You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks 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 single quotes like ''this''

Description	You type	You get
applies anywhere
Italic text	`''italic''`	italic
Bold text	`'''bold'''`	bold
Bold and italic	`'''''bold & italic'''''`	bold & italic
Escape wiki markup	`<nowiki>no "markup"</nowiki>`	no ''markup''
Fixed width text	<tt>Fixed width text</tt>	`Fixed width text`
only at the beginning of the line
Indent text	`:Single indent` `::Double indent` `:::::Multiple indent`	Single indent Double indent Multiple indent
Headings of different levels ^[1]	`=level 1=`^[2] `==level 2==` `===level 3===` `====level 4====` `=====level 5=====` `======level 6======`	Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
Horizontal rule	`----`	----
Bullet list	* one * two * three three and one-third three and two-thirds	one two three three and one-third three and two-thirds
Numbered list	# one # two<br>spanning several lines<br>without breaking the numbering # three ## three point one ## three point two	one two spanning several lines without breaking the numbering three three point one three point two
Mixture of bulleted and numbered lists	# one # two #* two point one #* two point two	one two two point one two point two
Definition list	;Definition :item 1 :item 2	Definition item 1 item 2
Preformatted text	preformatted text is done with a space at the beginning of the line	preformatted text is done with a space at the beginning of the line
Preformatted text with no indentation	<pre> some preformatted text with no indentation </pre>	some preformatted text with no indentation

Notes:

↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
↑ Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.

HTML & Sourcecode

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <div>, <span> and <font>.

If you want to use <code>, you should use <source> instead! It supports Syntax Coloring. You can also specify a language, eg. <source lang="c"> :

// Global variable
int x = 7;

int myFunction(int a) {
    // Local variable
    int b = 8;
    return (a + b);
}

Please see the MediaWiki GeSHi Page for detailed information to use some of the parameters:

enclose="div": enables indentation with 4 spaces
lang="xyz": defines the language, eg. "c", "php", ...
line: show line numbering
line start="55": first line is labeled #55
hilight="4: hilights line #4

Other formatting
