Note that there is no blank line between comments, and if you reply using multiple paragraphs, use the colons before the blank line between paragraphs (see MOS:LISTGAP for explanation). 3. Your response to a reply should be positioned below that reply, but above any later responses that were made to a different comment. In the following, Alice ...
Use proper markup: Employ careful wiki markup- or template-based list code (see Help:List for many pointers). Especially do not leave blank lines between items in a list, since this causes the MediaWiki software to misinterpret each item as beginning a new list. (There are HTML techniques to insert linebreaks or additional paragraphs into a ...
Between paragraphs—as between sections—there should be only a single blank line. First lines are not indented. Bullet points should not be used in the lead of an article, and should be used in the body only to break up a mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort to comprehend.

(These blank lines make no difference in what the reader sees.) Here are the elements of the wikicode that makes up a table: 1. A table always begins with "{|".
Line breaks or newlines are used to add whitespace between lines, such as separating paragraphs. A line break that is visible in the content is inserted by pressing ↵ Enter twice.

The disadvantages of LaTeX are the following: On some browser configurations, LaTeX inline formulas appear with a slight vertical misalignment, or with a font size that may be slightly different from that of the surrounding text.
The MediaWiki software, which drives Wikipedia, allows the use of a subset of HTML 5 elements, or tags and their attributes, for presentation formatting. [1] However, most HTML functionality can be replicated using equivalent wiki markup or templates.
