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 />.

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are done through the template Template:Quote.

  • Don't forget to put closing double brackets }} at the end of the quote.
  • When using this template, you'll need to manually create two blank lines between paragraphs or they'll get smooshed together.

Typing this: 

{{Quote|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Vel turpis nunc eget lorem dolor sed viverra ipsum. Mauris in aliquam sem fringilla ut morbi. Varius sit amet mattis vulputate. Sem viverra aliquet eget sit amet tellus cras adipiscing. Arcu non sodales neque sodales. Leo integer malesuada nunc vel risus commodo. Sollicitudin aliquam ultrices sagittis orci a scelerisque purus semper. Euismod in pellentesque massa placerat duis ultricies lacus sed. Fames ac turpis egestas maecenas pharetra convallis posuere morbi. Pellentesque diam volutpat commodo sed egestas egestas fringilla phasellus faucibus. Nunc pulvinar sapien et ligula ullamcorper malesuada proin. Lorem donec massa sapien faucibus et. Eu turpis egestas pretium aenean.


Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Vel turpis nunc eget lorem dolor sed viverra ipsum. Mauris in aliquam sem fringilla ut morbi. Varius sit amet mattis vulputate. Sem viverra aliquet eget sit amet tellus cras adipiscing.}}

Results in:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Vel turpis nunc eget lorem dolor sed viverra ipsum. Mauris in aliquam sem fringilla ut morbi. Varius sit amet mattis vulputate. Sem viverra aliquet eget sit amet tellus cras adipiscing. Arcu non sodales neque sodales. Leo integer malesuada nunc vel risus commodo. Sollicitudin aliquam ultrices sagittis orci a scelerisque purus semper. Euismod in pellentesque massa placerat duis ultricies lacus sed. Fames ac turpis egestas maecenas pharetra convallis posuere morbi. Pellentesque diam volutpat commodo sed egestas egestas fringilla phasellus faucibus.

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:
