The markup language called '''wikitextWiki Markup Language''', also known as '''wikitext''', '''wiki markup''' or '''wikicode''', consists of the syntax and keywords used by the [[MediaWiki]] software to format a page. (Note the lowercase spelling of these terms.){{efn|Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that uses wikitext—wikitext is not named after Wikipedia.}} To learn how to see this [[hypertext markup]], and to save an edit, see [[Help:Editing]]. Generally, coding can be copied and pasted, without writing new code. There is a short list of markup and tips at [[Help:Cheatsheet]].
In addition to wikitext, some [[HTML element]]s are also allowed for presentation formatting. See [[Help:HTML in wikitext]] for information on this.
