Text formatting. To ''italicize text'', put two consecutive apostrophes on each side of it. Three apostrophes each side will '''bold the text'''. Five consecutive apostrophes on each side (two for italics plus three for bold) produces '''''bold italics'''''.
A text editor is a computer program that lets a user enter, change, store, and usually print text (characters and numbers, each encoded by the computer and its input and output devices, arranged to have meaning to users or to other programs).
What kind of markup language does Wikipedia use? Wikipedia uses a very simple markup based on UseModWiki.
Wikitext is the main markup language used to format content on Fandom. It can be used to add photos, tables, bold styles, links, and many other visual changes. It's not necessary to know wikitext in order to edit a page: you can use the VisualEditor to avoid it.
