Help:HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a language used on websites to format the layout and content. Wiki pages are generally managed by wikitext rather than HTML, so only a limited number of HTML tags can be used on articles.

HTML (and wikitext) can be written and managed while using the editor's source editor.

HTML tags in wikitext[]

Supported tags[]

The following HTML tags can be used in articles:

^[1]

^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ^[2] ^[1] ^[1] ^[1] ↑ ^1.00 ^1.01 ^1.02 ^1.03 ^1.04 ^1.05 ^1.06 ^1.07 ^1.08 ^1.09 ^1.10 ^1.11 ^1.12 ^1.13 ^1.14 ^1.15 ^1.16 ^1.17 ^1.18 ^1.19 ^1.20 These tags have equivalent wikitext markup, which is generally preferable. See #Usage notes. ↑ is actually a parser tag.

Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) → when inserted will be shown as right arrow HTML symbol → and — when inserted will be shown as an em dash HTML symbol —. Hover over any character to find out the symbol that it produces. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.

Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to ‏ which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.) Displaying raw HTML tags and entities[] To display the raw HTML code, you can do this in two ways: by replacing selected characters (&, <, etc.) with HTML entities: € → € Typo to be corrected → Typo to be corrected <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">Typo to be corrected → Typo to be corrected by using the tag: <pre> → Using the tag does not work for HTML entities. To display an entity as plain text, replace the ampersand with &. & → &   → Usage notes[] Keep it friendly The use of wikitext is recommended wherever possible, as HTML generally makes the text in the edit box harder to read and more intimidating for new users. Complex uses of HTML and CSS can be hidden away in templates, where they are less likely to get in the way of the casual editor. Combine it with CSS Styling information can be stored in community CSS pages (using code like class="classname"). Both CSS classes and inline styling (style="color: pink;") can be used with the HTML tags listed above, and they can also be used with many types of wikitext, particularly tables, table rows and cells. However, please keep in mind that use of inline styling should be limited, as it can cause conflicts with the mobile experience of your community.
