WikiPedalia:Editierhilfe
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''

Notes:
- ↑ Use of a heading created by single equal signs is discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.
- ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
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
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.
If you trust your users you can allow full HTML by setting $wgRawHtml = true;
in LocalSettings.php.
Other formatting
Beyond the text formatting markup shown above, here are some other formatting references:
