''Italics'' and '''boldface''' are handled the same way as TV Tropes -- two single quotes (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) to turn italics on and off, and three single quotes (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) to turn boldface on and off.


Quotes use the quote template, like this: <code><nowiki>{{quote|quote text|author or character|work name}}</nowiki></code> -- but anything after the quote text is optional. So you can put in the full version like <code><nowiki>{{quote|Now is the winter of our discontent.|Shakespeare|Richard III}}</nowiki></code>,<ref>You can add links to the Quote markup. For example, <code><nowiki>{{quote|Now is the winter of our discontent.|[[Shakespeare]]|[[Richard III]]}}</nowiki></code></ref> or go with something really short like <code><nowiki>{{quote| Here's Johnny!}}</nowiki></code>. <small>''More info: [[Help:Templates]]''</small>

And finally, if you need to mark an spoiler, put it in a spoiler template, like: <code><nowiki>At the end of [[Citizen Kane]], we find out that {{spoiler| Rosebud is the name of his sled}}.</nowiki></code><ref>This trope is called [[It Was His Sled]], since everyone has known the spoiler ending for like 50 years already.</ref>
