HTML elements in the old editor

For information on how to work with HTML in the new editor, see Block with HTML markup.

Concurrent use of HTML and Wiki markup may cause unpredictable errors in HTML. This is due to markup overlaps and, consequently, violations of the page structure.

If you want to add formatting elements that aren't included in the standard formatting options, you can use HTML tags directly in your text.

For example:

 <p style="color: gray; font-weight: bold;">Text in gray</p>

Result

Text in gray

 <p style="border-width: 4px; border-style: double; border-color: orange;">Text in a border</p>

Result

Text in a border

 <table border="1">
 <tr><td>Value 1</td><td>Value 2</td></tr>
 <tr><td>Value 3</td><td>Value 4</td></tr>
   </table>

Result

Value 1	Value 2
Value 3	Value 4
