Italics

Two consecutive apostrophes will italicize text.

Bold

Three consecutive apostrophes will bold text.

Italics and Bold

Five consecutive apostrophes.

Indent text

Colons are used to indent the text.

Each colon at the start of a line

causes the line to be indented by three more character positions.

Blockquote

<> and </> around blockquote

Center text

Two {{ }} around center or <> and </> around center

Smallcaps

Two {{ }} surrounding smallcap or <> and </> around smallcap

Section headings

Use the equal sign on both sides. The = through ====== markup are headings for the sections with which they are associated.

A single = is styled as the article title and should not be used within an article.

Table of contents

When a page has at least four headings, a table of contents (TOC) will automatically appear after the lead and before the first heading. __ FORCETOC__ forces the TOC to appear at the normal location regardless of the number of headings. __ TOC__ forces the TOC to appear at the point where the magic word is inserted instead of the normal location. __ NOTOC__ disables the TOC entirely.

Line breaks

A line break that is visible in the content is inserted by pressing Return twice. Pressing Return once will place a line break in the markup, but it will not show in the rendered content, except when using list markup. Markup such as bold or italics will be terminated at a line break.

Unbulleted list

Two {{ }} around plainlist or unbulleted list both create an unbulleted list.

Unnumbered Lists

Use Asterisks.

• Item1
• Item2
• Item3
• Item4
  • Sub-item 4 a)

Numbered Lists

Use the pound sign

1. Item1
2. Item2
3. Item3
4. Item4
   1. Sub-item

Code

Use <> and </> around code

Hyperlinks

Use two [[ ]] around the link

Renamed link

The target ("piped") text must be placed first, then the text to be displayed second. So [[ ]] original name|new name

Link to a Wikipedia article

[[ ]] around Wikipedia:Name of article. For a subsection within the article Wikipedia:Name of article#Subsection
