'''This is just a short help reference. Find the full version [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Formatting here].'''
 
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 ''italic'', you include it in two single quotes like <tt>
 
<nowiki>''this''</nowiki> </tt>
 
{| align="center" {{Prettytable}}

Comment

<!--This is a comment-->

  1. An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
  2. Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.

}

Please see the MediaWiki GeSHi Page for detailed information to use some of the parameters:
