== Bold and italic text ==
To mark text as '''bold''' or ''italic'' put inverted commata (') before and after those parts – two for italic and three for bold. For example:
 
<nowiki>''italic''</nowiki>,
<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>,
<nowiki>'''''bold+italic'''''</nowiki>.
 
Note that MediaWiki (like most Wikis) processes wiki syntax line-by-line, so if, for example, you want three bold lines of text, so you will have to format every line separately.
 
== Headings ==
Headings are delimited by 1–6 equal signs (=). They basically correspond to HTML's <nowiki><h1></nowiki> through <nowiki><h6></nowiki> tags.
<pre>= Headline of first order =
== Headline of second order ==
=== Headline of third order ===
==== Headline of fourth order ====
===== Headline of fifth order =====
====== Headline of sixth order ======</pre>
 
== Lists ==
Lists are made by preceding list items by asterisk signs (*) for bulleted lists or number signs (#) for numbered lists.
 
Simple lists:
<pre>
* Text for a bulleted list item.
** Text for second-level list.
*** Text for third level, etc.
</pre>
 
...which looks like:
* Text for a bulleted list item.
** Text for second-level list.
*** Text for third level, etc.
 
Numbered lists:
<pre>
# Text for a numbered list item.
## Text for second-level list.
### Text for third level, etc.
## Another Text for the second level.
</pre>
 
...which looks like:
# Text for a numbered list item.
## Text for second-level list.
### Text for third level, etc.
## Another Text for the second level.
 
== Indented text ==
To indent paragraphs preceed them with colon signs (:); use several colons to obtain several levels of indentation.
 
Simple indented text:
<pre>
: Text to be indented (quote-block)
:: Text indented more
::: Text indented to third level
</pre>
 
...which looks like:
: Text to be indented (quote-block)
:: Text indented more
::: Text indented to third level
 
== Preformatted text ==
Individual lines can be displayed as preformatted (with fixed-width or "typewriter"-font) text by placing one or more spaces at the start of the line. Other wiki formatting (like links) will be applied to this kind of preformatted text.
 
<nowiki>Additionally, multi-line sections can be marked as pre-formatted text using lines starting with <pre> (to start pre-formatted text), and </pre> (to end preformatted text). The <pre> and </pre> tags are not displayed. Wiki links and other formatting is not done within a preformatted section. (If you want wiki formatting, use spaces at the start of the line instead of the <pre> and </pre> tags.)</nowiki>
 
For instance:
<pre>
Pre-formatted section here.  No other link
  or format processing
is done on pre-formatted sections.
For instance, [[Gazelle]] is not a link here.
</pre>
 
and:
  This is the starting-spaces version of
  preformatted text.  Note that links like
  [[Gazelle]] still work.
