A single newline has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. This aids editing and improves the diff function.

But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

You can break lines<br>

• Lists are easy to do:
  • start every line with a star
  • more stars means deeper levels

A colon will indent a line or paragraph.

IF a line starts with a space THEN
  it will be formatted exactly 
    as typed;
  in a technical looking font;
  lines won't wrap;
ENDIF
this is useful for:
  * pasting preformatted text;
  * algorithm descriptions;
  * ascii art;

WARNING If you make it wide, you force the whole page to be wide and hence less readable. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.

• First letter of target is automatically capitalized.
• Internally spaces are automatically represented as underscores (typing an underscore has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).

Thus the link above is to http://www.unilang3.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Languages, which is the article with the name "Languages".

We love [[languages]].

Same target, different name:

you should sign it. You can do this by adding three tildes for your user name:

or four for user name plus date/time:

When adding a comment to a Talk page,
you should sign it. You can do this by
adding three tildes for your user name:

exist yet.

• You can create it by clicking on the link.

• To create a new page:
  1. Create a link to it on some other page.
  2. Save that page.
  3. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing.
• After creating a page, search for its title and make sure that everyone correctly links to it.

[[Klingon]] is a page 
that doesn't exist yet.

Redirect one article title to another by putting text like this in its first line. Note that there must be no text following this, or the redirect may not work.

#REDIRECT [[United States]]

External link: 
[http://www.unilang.org UniLang homepage]

Or just give the URL: 
http://www.unilang.org.

• In the URL all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 ._\/~%-+&#?!=()@ \x80-\xFF. If a URL contains another character it should be converted; for example, ^ has to be written %5E (to be looked up in ASCII).

• Only images that have been uploaded to Wikipedia can be used. To upload images, use the upload page. You can find the uploaded image on the image list. See UniLangWiki:Image use policy for many more hints.

A picture: [[Image:Unilangwikilogosmall.jpg]]

or, with alternate text (preferred)

[[Image:Unilangwikilogosmall.jpg|UniLang logo]] 

which will be

• displayed in text only browsers
• displayed in any browser, when display of images is disabled by the user
• spoken in text to speech browsers, e.g. for blind people
• displayed in many browsers as a rectangle when the mouse is hoverered over the image

Clicking on an uploaded image displays a description page, which you can also link directly to: Image:Unilangwikilogosmall.jpg

[[:Image:Unilangwikilogosmall.jpg]]

To include links to non-image uploads such as sounds, or to images shown as links instead of drawn on the page, use a "media" link.

Emphasize, strongly, very strongly.

• These are double and triple apostrophes, not double quotes.

''Emphasize'', '''strongly''', 
'''''very strongly'''''.

You can also write italic and bold if the desired effect is a specific font style rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas:

F = ma

• However, the difference between these two methods is not very important, and most people choose to ignore it.

You can also write <i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b>
if the desired effect is a specific font style
rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas:

:<b>F</b> = <i>m</i><b>a</b>

A typewriter font for <tt>technical terms</tt>.

You can use <small>small text</small> for captions.

and underline new material.

You can <strike>strike out deleted material</strike>
and <u>underline new material</u>.

Punctuation:
¿ ¡ « » § ¶
† ‡ • —

¿ ¡ « » § ¶
† ‡ • —

Commercial symbols:

£ ¤

Superscript: x² or x²

• The latter method of superscript can't be used in the most general context, but is preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it.

ε₀ =

8.85 × 10⁻¹²

Subscript: x<sub>2</sub>
Superscript: x<sup>2</sup> or x&sup2;







&epsilon;<sub>0</sub> =

Suppressing interpretation of markup:
Link → (<i>to</i>) the [[Main page]]

• Used to show literal data that would otherwise have special meaning.
• Escapes all wiki markup, including that which looks like HTML tags.
• Does not escape HTML character entities.
