<languages /> pd_help_page <translate> <!–T:1–> You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs 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 pairs of apostrophes like

<nowiki>''this''</nowiki>

.

<translate> <!–T:67–> Start each line with a space. Text is 'preformatted' and markups 'can' be done. </translate>

Start with a space in the first column, (before the <tvar|1><nowiki></>).

<!–T:70–> Then your block format will be

  maintained.

<!–T:170–> This is good for copying in code blocks: </translate>

def function():

  """<translate><!--T:171--> documentation string</translate>"""

  if True:
      print True
  else:
      print False&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== Paragraphs == <!–T:78–>

<!–T:79–> MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag

&lt;br />

.

== HTML tags == <!–T:80–>

<!–T:81–> Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example

&lt;code>

,

&lt;div>

, and

<nowiki><span></nowiki>

. These apply anywhere you insert them. </translate> {| class=“wikitable” ! <translate><!–T:82–> Description</translate> ! width=40% | <translate><!–T:83–> You type</translate> ! width=40% | <translate><!–T:84–> You get</translate>

== Inserting symbols == <!–T:132–>

<!–T:133–> Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or VisualEditor to insert them into the edit screen.

<!–T:166–> As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '&rarr;' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol → and '&mdash;' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol —. </translate>

1=<translate> Hover over any character to find out the symbol that it produces. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.</translate>

<translate> <!–T:141–> See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences:

&amp;רלמ;

and

&amp;رلم;

which are both considered equivalent to

&amp;rlm;

which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)
