This page lists the simplest of the simple Wiki formatting. For a much more detailed look at Wiki syntax, visit the Editing section in the MediaWiki Handbook.

To separate text into paragraphs, leave a completely blank line between the two paragraphs.

For text that must line up (such as guitar tablature), start each line with a space. This will cause the text to show up in a monospace font.
