To add a category to a page, use the following syntax: [[Category:''CategoryName'']] These category links should be put at the bottom of the page after the content. Add as many Category links as appropriate. For example, a tutorial about how to use Venkman could be in the "Venkman", "Tools", and "Tutorials" categories. All categories, in turn, should be put in [[:Category:All Categories]]. == Reference to versions in other languages ==It is always nice when there are references to the page's versions written in other languages. For example, to insert in this page a reference to this page's version in portuguese, you simply need to add the following syntax at the end of this page: <pre>[[pt:Referência de Marcação Wiki]]</pre> In other words, you simply need to add the internal link to the desired site with the prefix which refers to the page's language. The reference to other language's pages also works with category pages. == Force Ignore of Wiki Markup == If you need a particular piece of wiki markup ignored by the parser, simply enclose it in "nowiki" tags, like so: <pre><nowiki>'''this wiki markup will not be interpreted'''</nowiki></pre> <nowiki>'''this wiki markup will not be interpreted'''</nowiki> == HTML in Wikitext == The following tags are currently allowed in wiki markup: {| border="0" cellpadding="5"| valign="top"|* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<b>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<big>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Text_containers|<blockquote>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Others|<br>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Tables|<caption>]]* <center>* <cite>* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Logical_markup|<code>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<dd>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Other_containers|<div>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<dl>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<dt>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Logical_markup|<em>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<font>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h1>]]| valign="top"|* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h2>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h3>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h4>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h5>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Headings|<h6>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Other_containers|<hr>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<i>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<li>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<ol>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Text_containers|<p>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Text_containers|<pre>]]* <rb>* <rp>* <rt>* <ruby>| valign="top"|* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<s>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<small>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<strike>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Logical_markup|<strong>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<sub>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<sup>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Tables|<table>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Tables|<td>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Tables|<th>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Tables|<tr>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<tt>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Presentational_markup|<u>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Lists|<ul>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Logical_markup|<var>]]* [[Wikipedia:HTML_element#Others|<!-- ... -->]]|} == Special Characters == <table class="fullwidth-table"><tr><td class="header" width="50%">Result</td><td class="header" width="50%">Markup</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td>'''Umlauts and accents:''' è é ê ë ì í À Á Â Ã Ä Å <br/>Æ Ç È É Ê Ë <br/>Ì ÍÎ Ï Ñ Ò <br/>Ó Ô ÕÖ Ø Ù <br/>Ú Û Ü ßà á <br/>â ã ä å æç <br/>è é ê ë ì í<br/>î ï ñ ò ó ô <br/>œ õö ø ù ú <br/>û ü ÿ</td><td><pre><nowiki> è é ê ë ì í &Agrave;
