You can format your text using a modified Mediawiki markup, certain features have been added, while a great many are simply not supported. 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''

Links

For links to other content within this wiki, like the Main page, include the destination in a pair of brackets [[Main page]]. The link may also be given a title with a vertical bar (pipe): the semi-important front page ([[Main page|the semi-important front page]]).

For links to other content on this site, not inside the wiki, like the About page, include the desintation inside a pair of parenthesis. For example, ((About)). All the rules and features of the above interwiki links apply to these "outerwiki" links.

Paragraphs

Mediawiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a newline with the HTML tag <br&nbsp;/>.

HTML

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