This wiki understands some basic LaTeX syntax. For example

\textit{italic text}
\textbf{boldface text}

results in italic text and boldface text, respectively. Similar results can be achieved with

{\itshape italic text}
{\bfseries boldface text}

resulting in italic text and boldface text. These can be combined as in

\textbf{{\itshape bold italics}}

resulting in bold italics, but note the need for an extra set of curly brackets compared with standard LaTeX usage.

This Wiki understands the following LaTeX syntax

`` '' ~ \'e \`e \"o

resulting in: “ ”   é è ö. Note that the combination “\ ” for a forced space is not understood; use a tilde instead. To get an actual tilde (~) enter the following:

 %%%%~%%%%

This wiki understands LaTeX list syntax. For example,

\begin{enumerate}\item
numbered list first item
\item
numbered list second item
\begin{itemize}\item
unnumbered sublist
\item
second item
\end{itemize}
third item
\end{enumerate}

results in:

1. numbered list first item
2. numbered list second item
   • unnumbered sublist
   • second item
3. third item

Note however that the first \item command in each list should appear exactly as above, immediately following the \begin{…} command on the same line.
