Help:HTML Entities

Needs Attention
This article needs attention; however, it is not necessarily a stub or an orphan.

You can enter HTML entities directly into a Mediawiki page.

Line Breaks

You can enter <br /> to insert a line break. For example, this

This line<br />has a break in the middle.

will appear as this:

This line
has a break in the middle.

<div>'s and span's

You can also insert <div> and <span> to organize inline and block-level elements.

For example, this markup

<div class="colthree">
List of items.
*First item
*Second item
*Third item
Numerical list of items.
#First item
#Second item
#Third item
Third list
*Item
*Another item
*Yet another item
</div>

produces this output:

List of items.

• First item
• Second item
• Third item

Numerical list of items.

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

Third list

• Item
• Another item
• Yet another item

To see which classes have been defined for your use, please view the style sheet.
