# HelpOnFormatting

## General

- Use one or more blank lines to separate paragraphs.

- Use `[[BR]]` to insert linebreaks into paragraphs.

## Typeface

Name/Sample | Markup | Notes
italic | `''italic''` | Double single quotes.
bold | `'''bold'''` | Triple single quotes.
`monospace` | ``monospace`` | Single backticks. Wiki markup is ignored.
`code` | `{{{code}}}` | Example. Wiki markup is ignored.
underline | `__underline__` |
superscript | `^superscript^` |
subscript | `,,subscript,,` |
smaller | `~-smaller-~` |
larger | `~+larger+~` |
stroke | `--(stroke)--` | MoinMoin Version 1.5+

## Colorized Code

There are several ways to display colorized code formatting:

1. Start a special code block containing the parser's name: `{{{#!parsername`

2. Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as `".py"`) with `inline:`

3. Begin a page with the format processing instruction: `#format parsername`

Example.

To see the list of supported languages see HelpOnParsers.

# Examples

## Mixing ''italic'' and '''bold'''

Markup | Result
`'''''Mix''' at the beginning''` | Mix at the beginning
`'''''Mix'' at the beginning'''` | Mix at the beginning
`'''Mix at the ''end'''''` | Mix at the end
`''Mix at the '''end'''''` | Mix at the end

## Code

`{{{`
`10 PRINT "Hello, world!"`
`20 GOTO 10`
`}}}`

Result:

    10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
    20 GOTO 10

## Superscript & Subscript

`You might recall ''a''^2^` +`''b''^2^` =`''c''^2^ from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H,,2,,O.`

Result:

You might recall a2 `+` b2 `=` c2 from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H2O.

## Colorized Code, Method #1

`{{{#!python`
`from colors import palette`
`palette.colorize('python')`
`}}}`

Result:

       1 from colors import palette
       2 palette.colorize('python')
