It is considered good Wikiquette to use wiki syntax instead of HTML. For many HTML elements, more convenient wikitext code is available, see Help:Basic editing Only use HTML when essential.

Permitted HTML

The following HTML elements are currently permitted:

<b> <big> <blockquote> <br> <caption> <center> <cite> <code> <dd> <div> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1>

<h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr> <i> <li> <ol> <p> <pre> <rb> <rp> <rt> <ruby>

<s> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul> <var> <!-- ... -->

HTML tags

You can use some HTML tags too. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.
