<languages /> Template:TNT <translate> You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs 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 pairs of apostrophes like ''this''.

<translate> Preformatted text blocks</translate> 
 <translate><!--T:69-->
<nowiki>Start with a space in the first column,
(before the <nowiki>).

<!--T:70-->
Then your block format will be
    maintained.
 
This is good for copying in code blocks:

<!--T:71-->
def function():
    """documentation string"""

    <!--T:72-->
if True:
        print True
    else:
        print False</nowiki></translate>

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <br />.

HTML tags

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>. These apply anywhere you insert them. </translate>

Inserting symbols

Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many Operating Systems and browsers allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or VisualEditor to insert them into the edit screen.

As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) &rarr; when inserted will be shown as right arrow HTML symbol → and &mdash; when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol —. </translate>

<translate> See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to &rlm; which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

HTML tags and symbol entities displayed themselves (with and without interpreting them)

<translate>

Nowiki for HTML

</translate> <nowiki /> <translate> can prohibit (HTML) tags:</translate>

  • <<nowiki />pre>  → <pre>

<translate> But not & symbol escapes:</translate>

  • &<nowiki />amp;  → &

<translate> To print & symbol escapes as text, use "&amp;" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "&amp;nbsp;", which results in "&nbsp;").
