Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the HTML tags <br> or <br/>.
Uploading Files
For uploading files use the button in the "toolbox" on the left. Remember the exact file name to embed the files into the wiki pages.
