SANDBOX
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''
Adding References
To find out how to add references using footnotes, see this Help page.
Paragraphs
Mediawiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a newline with the HTML tag <br />.
HTML
Some HTML-Tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.
