Basic text formatting

You can format the page using Wikitext special characters.

What it looks like What you type

You can italicize text by putting 2 apostrophes on each side.

3 apostrophes will bold the text.


5 apostrophes will bold and italicize the text.

(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special --
3 of them bold the text as usual; the others are 'just' apostrophes around the text.) 

You can ''italicize'' text by putting 2 
apostrophes on ''each'' side. 

3 apostrophes will '''bold''' the text. 

5 apostrophes will '''''bold and italicize''''' 
the text.

(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything
special -- <br /> 3 of them '''bold''' the text as
usual; the others are ''''just'''' apostrophes 
around the text.)

A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the diff function (used internally to compare different versions of a page).

But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (see below). 

A single newline
generally has no effect on the layout.
These can be used to separate
sentences within a paragraph.
Some editors find that this aids editing
and improves the ''diff'' function
(used internally to compare
different versions of a page).

But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.

When used in a list, a newline ''does''
affect the layout ([[#lists|see below]]).

You can break lines
without a new paragraph.
Please use this sparingly.

Please do not start a link or italics or bold text on one line and end on the next. 

You can break lines<br/>
without a new paragraph.<br/>
Please use this sparingly.

Please do not start a link or
''italics'' or '''bold''' text on one line
and end on the next.
You should "sign" your comments on talk pages:
  • Three tildes gives your signature: Example
  • Four tildes give your signature plus date/time: Example 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Five tildes gives the date/time alone: 07:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC) 
You should "sign" your comments 
on talk pages:
* Three tildes gives your
signature: ~~~
* Four tildes give your 
signature plus date/time: ~~~~
* Five tildes gives the 
date/time alone: ~~~~~
