Displaying text as typed

A few different formatting methods will ensure the Wiki shows your text exactly as you type it.

Rendering	Wikitext
The nowiki tag prevents [[Wiki]] ''markup'' from rendering. It adjusts text by eliminating newlines and multiple spaces. It still processes special characters: →	<nowiki> The nowiki tag prevents [[Wiki]] ''markup'' from rendering. It adjusts text by eliminating newlines and multiple spaces. It still processes special characters: &rarr; </nowiki>
The pre tag bypasses [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also maintains text format. It still recognizes special characters: →	<pre> The pre tag bypasses [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also maintains text format. It still recognizes special characters: &rarr; </pre>
Leading spaces offer another method to keep formatting. Inserting a space at the start of each line keeps the text as is.

Displaying code

Template:Main If the syntax highlighting extension is available, you can show source code similarly to the HTML Template:Tag tag, but with advanced text editor-like syntax highlighting. See the list of supported languages: http://pygments.org/languages/ Here's an example for displaying C# code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Hello World in Microsoft C# ("C-Sharp").

using System;

class HelloWorld
{
    public static int Main(String[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
        return 0;
    }
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Renders as:

// Hello World in Microsoft C# ("C-Sharp").

using System;

class HelloWorld
{
    public static int Main(String[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
        return 0;
    }
}

Using images, tables, video, and sounds

For more detailed guides, see:

• Template:Ll - for file uploads and image syntax.
• Template:Ll - for creating tables.

Once you upload a file, enter its filename, highlight it, and click the "embedded image" button on the edit toolbar. This will generate the embedding syntax:

[[Image:filename.png]]

Rendering	Wikitext
An image with alternate text: This is Wiki's logo Image with frame and caption: File:Wiki.png This is Wiki's logo	An image with alternate text: [[Image:Wiki.png|This is Wiki's logo]] Image with frame and caption: [[Image:Wiki.png|frame|This is Wiki's logo]]
Link to MediaWiki's image page: Image:Wiki.png Direct link to the image: Media:Wiki.png	Link to MediaWiki's image page: [[:Image:Wiki.png]] Direct link to the image: [[Media:Wiki.png]]
The media: namespace tag can be used to link directly to sounds or videos: A sound file	The '''media:''' namespace tag can be used to link directly to sounds or videos: [[media:Classical guitar scale.ogg|A sound file]]
Include a spoken version of text in a template (Template:Tl):	Include a spoken version of text in a template: {{listen |title = Flow, my tears |filename = Flow, my tears.ogg |filesize = 1.41 MB }}
Text in a bordered box	|<center><span style="border:5px double black">'''Text in a bordered box'''</span></center> |
This is a table	{| style="margin: auto; border: 10px solid black; border-spacing: 5px;" |- ! style="padding: 10px;" | This ! style="padding: 10px;" | is |- | style="padding: 10px;" | a | style="padding: 10px;" | table |}

Galleries

Template:See also Images can be organized into galleries using the Template:Tag tag, like this:

• File:Wiki.png
• Captioned
  Captioned
• File:Wiki.png
• Links can be put in captions.
  Links can be put in captions.

Mathematical formula

To format mathematical formula, you can useTeX markup.

Rendering	Wikitext
$\sum _{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\frac{x^n}{n!}$	<math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}</math>

Templates

Template:Main Templates are snippets of Wiki markup that can be automatically copied ("transcluded") into a page. You can add them by placing the template's name inside {{double braces}}. To transclude pages from other namespaces, use {{:colon and double braces}}. Some templates accept parameters, separated by the pipe character.

Rendering	Wikitext
	{{Help:Wikitext examples/transclusion demo}}
This template uses takes one parameter and returns it twice: Template:2x	This template uses takes one parameter and returns it twice: {{2x|Hello World}}
