  • You can edit the content using the wiki syntax. Normal caracters like * ' " =, that have special functions depending sometimes on their position. For example the sintax ''italic'' will return italic.
  • Mediawiki skips the new blank lines. If you want to start a new paragraph, you only have to drop a new blank line between the two sections of your text. You are also free to use HTML tags like <br>.
  • Some compatible HTML tags with MediaWiki: <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.
