You can format your text using the formatting toolbar or wiki markup. Wiki markup can be thought of as a simplified version of html and it consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like ''this''.

Text Formatting

Description You type You get
character (inline) formatting – applies anywhere
Italic text ''italic'' italic
Bold text '''bold''' bold
Bold and italic '''''bold & italic''''' bold & italic
Ignore wiki markup <nowiki>no ''markup''</nowiki> no ''markup''
section formatting – only at the beginning of the line
Preformatted text 
 preformatted text is done with
 a '''space''' at the 
 ''beginning'' of the line

This way of preformatting only applies to section formatting, and character formatting markups are still effective.

Headers & Lines

Description You type You get
section formatting – only at the beginning of the line (with no leading spaces)
Headings of different levels 
=level 1=
==level 2==
===level 3===
====level 4====
=====level 5=====
======level 6======

Level 1 is normally set aside for the article title. An article with 4 or more headings automatically creates a table of contents.

Lists

Description You type You get
section formatting – only at the beginning of the line (with no leading spaces)
Bullet list 
* one
* two
* three
** three point one
** three point two

Inserting a blank line will end the first list and start another.

  • one
  • two
  • three
    • three point one
    • three point two
Numbered list 
# one
# two<br />spanning more lines<br />doesn't break numbering
# three
## three point one
## three point two
  1. one
  2. two
    spanning more lines
    doesn't break numbering
  3. three
    1. three point one
    2. three point two
Definition list 
;item 1
: definition 1
;item 2
: definition 2-1
: definition 2-2

Adopting definition list to indent text 
: Single indent
:: Double indent
::::: Multiple indent

This workaround may be controversial from the viewpoint of accessibility.

Mixture of different types of list 
# one

;item 1
:* definition 1-1
:* definition 1-2
:

:# definition 2-2

The usage of #: and *: for breaking a line within an item may also be controversial.

  1. one
  2. two
    • two point one
    • two point two
  3. three
    three item one
    three def one
  4. four

      1. five sub 1 sub 1
    2. five sub 2
