    • What

    is

    Wikitext?[edit | edit source]Wikitext is

    a simplified markup language that is used to format and structure text and other data.

    While HTML is the most common markup language for web pages, Wikitext is used in wiki systems. Like HTML, it uses tags to mark parts of

    tags

    text or other data.

    How do I use Wikitext?[edit | edit source]

    When you edit a page, you can switch between visual editing and source editing

    :

    using the editor toolbar.

    Screenshot: Visual Editor switch edit mode

    Wikitext can be entered in source editing mode. When you are in visual editing mode, VisualEditor inserts Wikitext "behind the scenes". If VisualEditor doesn't format elements on a page correctly, you can always switch to source editing to correct the issues directly in Wikitext.

    Examples of Wikitext[edit | edit source]

    Here are some typical examples of Wikitext:

    Text formatting[edit | edit source]

    • This is '''bold'''
    • This is ''italic''
    • This is <u>underlined</u>

    Structuring[edit | edit source]

    Headings[edit | edit source]

    • (1st level): reserved for page title
    • 2nd level: ==Section heading==
    • 3nd level: ===Section sub-heading===

    Lists[edit | edit source]

    • ordered (numbered):
    # One ## One-point-one ### One-point-one-point-one # Two
    • unordered (bulleted): *
    • definition list: ;Fire:provides energy and light

    Tables[edit | edit source]

    • This is a ==Heading==
    • This is an *unordered list element
    • Table: 
                                      {| class="wikitable"

                            
    •                                 |-

                            
    •                                 !header 1

                            
    •                                 !header 2

                            
    •                                 |-
