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{ Text formatting markup } \begin{tabular}\href{/index.php?title=Template:Hl2&action=edit&redlink=1}{Template:Hl2} |\textbf{Description} & \href{/index.php?title=Template:Hl2&action=edit&redlink=1}{Template:Hl2} |\textbf{You type} & \href{/index.php?title=Template:Hl2&action=edit&redlink=1}{Template:Hl2} |\textbf{You get} \\ \textit{applies anywhere} \\ Italic text & \texttt{''italic''} & \textit{italic} \\ Bold text & \texttt{'''bold'''} & \textbf{bold} \\ Bold and italic & \texttt{'''''bold \& italic'''''} & \textit{\textbf{bold \& italic}} \\ Escape wiki markup & \texttt{$<$nowiki$>$no "markup"$<$/nowiki$>$} & no ''markup'' \\ Fixed width text & $<$tt$>$Fixed width text$<$/tt$>$ & \texttt{Fixed width text} \\ \textit{only at the beginning of the line} \\ Indent text & \texttt{:Single indent} \\\texttt{::Double indent} \\\texttt{:::::Multiple indent} & \begin{description}Single indent \begin{description}Double indent \begin{description} \begin{description} \begin{description}Multiple indent \end{description} \end{description} \end{description} \end{description} \end{description} \\ Headings of \\ different levels $<$ref$>$An article with four or more headings will automatically create a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29}{table of contents}.$<$/ref$>$ & \texttt{=level 1=}$<$ref$>$Use of a level 1 heading is \textit{\textbf{highly discouraged}} as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.$<$/ref$>$ \\\texttt{==level 2==} \\\texttt{===level 3===} \\\texttt{====level 4====} \\\texttt{=====level 5=====} \\\texttt{======level 6======} & Level 1 \\ \\Level 2 \\ \\Level 3 \\Level 4 \\Level 5 \\Level 6 \\ \\ Horizontal rule & \texttt{----} & \line(1,0){300} \\ Bullet list & * one \\* two \\* three \\** three and one-third \\** three and two-thirds \\ & \begin{itemize} \item one \item two \item three \begin{itemize} \item three and one-third \item three and two-thirds \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \\ Numbered list & # one \\# two$<$br$>$spanning several lines$<$br$>$without breaking the numbering \\# three \\## three point one \\## three point two \\ & \begin{enumerate} \item one \item two \\spanning several lines \\without breaking the numbering \item three \begin{enumerate} \item three point one \item three point two \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \\ Mixture of bulleted \\ and numbered lists & # one \\# two \\#* two point one \\#* two point two \\ & \begin{enumerate} \item one \item two \begin{itemize} \item two point one \item two point two \end{itemize} \end{enumerate} \\ Definition list & ;Definition \\:item 1 \\:item 2 \\ & \begin{description} \item[Definition] item 1item 2 \end{description} \\ Preformatted text & \nolinebreak\nolinebreakpreformatted text is done with \\\nolinebreak\nolinebreaka space at the \\\nolinebreak\nolinebreakbeginning of the line \\ & \begin{verbatim} preformatted text is done with a space at the beginning of the line \end{verbatim} \\ Preformatted text with no indentation & \nolinebreak$<$pre$>$ some preformatted text with no indentation $<$/pre$>$ & \begin{verbatim} some preformatted text with no indentation \end{verbatim} \\ Blockquotes & Body \\text text text text text text text text text text text texttext text text text text text text text text text text text $<$blockquote$>$ quote quote quote quote quote quote $<$/blockquote$>$ text text text text text text text text text text text text & Body \\text text text text text text text text text text text texttext text text text text text text text text text text text \begin{quotation} quote quote quote quote quote quote \end{quotation} text text text text text text text text text text text text \\ Comment & \texttt{$<$!--This is comment--$>$} & \end{tabular} \\Notes: $<$references/$>$\hypertarget{Paragraphs}{} \subsection{ Paragraphs } MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks.
