You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.
3 apostrophes will '''bold the text'''.
5 apostrophes will '''bold''' and ''italicize''
'''''the text'''''.
(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- <br>they are just '''' left over ones'''' that are included as part of the text.)

A single newline
generally has no effect on the layout.
These can be used to separate
sentences within a paragraph.
Some editors find that this aids editing
and improves the ''diff'' function
(used internally to compare
different versions of a page).
But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.
When used in a list, a newline ''does'' affect the layout ([[#lists|see below]]).

You can break lines<br>
without a new paragraph.<br>
Please use this sparingly.
Please do not start a link or ''italics'' or '''bold''' on one line and close it on the next.
