\subsubsection{ Basic Editing }
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 \textit{italic}, you include it in two single quotes like \texttt{''this''}\hypertarget{Text_formatting_markup}{}

\subsection{ 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 \texttt{$<$br$>$ or $<$br/$>$}.\hypertarget{HTML}{}
\subsection{ HTML }
Some \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML}{HTML} tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example \texttt{$<$code$>$}, \texttt{$<$div$>$}, \texttt{$<$span$>$} and \texttt{$<$font$>$}.
