Displaying text as typed

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

<translate> Rendering</translate>

<translate> Wikitext</translate>

The nowiki tag prevents [[Wiki]] ''markup'' from rendering. It adjusts text by eliminating newlines and multiple spaces. It still processes special characters: →

Leading spaces offer another method to keep formatting.

Inserting a space at the
start of each

Displaying code

</translate> Template:Main <translate> If the syntax highlighting extension is available, you can show source code similarly to the HTML <tvar name=1>Template:Tag</tvar> tag, but with advanced text editor-like syntax highlighting.</translate> <translate> See the list of supported languages:</translate> http://pygments.org/languages/ <translate> Here's an example for displaying C# code:</translate>

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

using System;

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

Renders as:

// <translate nowrap><!--T:15--> Hello World in Microsoft C# ("C-Sharp").</translate>

using System;

class HelloWorld
{
    public static int Main(String[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("<translate nowrap><!--T:16--> Hello, World!</translate>");
        return 0;
    }
}

Using images, tables, video, and sounds

For more detailed guides, see: </translate>

Template:Ll - <translate> for file uploads and image syntax.</translate>
Template:Ll - <translate> for creating tables.</translate>

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

$\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{n}}{n!}$	<math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}</math>

Templates

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