Psychotherapedia Formatting Help
You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equal signs 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 pairs of single quotes like ''this''
.

Paragraphs
Psychotherapedia ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tags <br /> .
HTML tags
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code> , <div> , <span> and <font> . These apply anywhere you insert them.

HTML symbols
An HTML symbol entity is a sequence of characters that produces one particular character. For example, → produces a right arrow "→ " and — produces an em dash "— ". HTML symbol entities are allowed in MediaWiki and are sometimes used in advanced editing for two main reasons: to insert characters not normally available on keyboards:
- © → ©
- δ → δ
and to prevent the parser from interpreting and displaying HTML tags and symbols:
- &euro; → €
- € → €
- <span style="color:green;">Green</span> → <span style="color:green;">Green</span>
- <span style="color:green;">Green</span> → Green
The following is a list of characters that can be produced using HTML symbols. Hover any character to find out the symbol that produces it. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.
