| <translate> Preformatted text blocks</translate> | [[:Template:^(]]nowiki[[:Template:)^]]<translate nowrap>
Start with a space in the first column,
(before the <tvar name=1>[[:Template:^(]]nowiki[[:Template:)^]]</tvar>).
Then your block format will be
maintained.
This is good for copying in code blocks:
</translate>
def function():
"""<translate nowrap> documentation string</translate>"""
if True:
print True
else:
print False[[:Template:^(]]/nowiki[[:Template:)^]]

Paragraphs[edit | edit source]
</translate> Template:Anchor <translate> 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 <tvar name=1>Template:Tag</tvar>.
HTML tags[edit | edit source]
</translate> Template:Anchor <translate> Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tvar name=1>Template:Tag</tvar>, [[w:Div and span|<tvar name=2>Template:Tag</tvar>, and <tvar name=3>Template:Tag</tvar>]]. These apply anywhere you insert them. </translate>

Inserting symbols[edit | edit source]
Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. [<tvar name=url>http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/</tvar> Many operating systems and browsers allow to insert special characters] through a menu option or operating system panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Special characters</tvar>|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen. </translate>
<translate> As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters.</translate> <translate> Those sequences are called [<tvar name=url>https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Character_reference</tvar> HTML character references].</translate> <translate> For example:</translate>
- <translate> the rightwards arrow symbol (<tvar name=1>
→</tvar>) can be displayed using the <tvar name=2>→</tvar> sequence</translate> - <translate> an em dash (<tvar name=1>
—</tvar>) can be displayed using <tvar name=2>—</tvar>.</translate>

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to ‏ which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)
