You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks 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 single quotes like ''this''

Paragraphs

Wiki Law School ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tag <br />.

HTML

Some HTML-Tags are allowed in Wiki Law School, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.

Beyond the basic text formatting markup shown above, there are some more advanced formatting tricks:
