You can use small text for captions.

You can use <small>small text</small> for captions.

Better stay away from big text, unless it's within small text.

Better stay away from <big>big text</big>, unless
<small> it's <big>within</big> small</small> text.

You can strike out deleted material and underline new material.

You can also mark deleted material and inserted material using logical markup. For backwards compatibility better combine this potentially ignored new logical with the old physical markup.

• When editing regular Wikipedia articles, just make your changes and do not mark them up in any special way.
• When editing your own previous remarks in talk pages, it is sometimes appropriate to mark up deleted or inserted material.

You can <s>strike out deleted material</s>
and <u>underline new material</u>.

You can also mark <del>deleted material</del> and
<ins>inserted material</ins> using logical markup.
For backwards compatibility better combine this
potentially ignored new <del>logical</del> with
the old <s><del>physical</del></s> markup.

The nowiki tag ignores Wiki markup. It reformats text by removing newlines and multiple spaces. It still interprets special characters: → </nowiki>

Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting. However, it will make the whole page fail to render properly in some browsers, such as IE7, thus making the page unreadable.

Putting a space at the beginning of each line
stops the text   from being reformatted.

Grime evolved from UK Garage music.

• A link to another Wiki article.
• Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).
• Thus the link above is to the URL "/Music" , which is the Wikipedia article with the name "Music".

Grime evolved from UK Garage [[music]].

Grime also contains musical influences from Hip-Hop.

• Same target, different name.
• The target ("piped") text must be placed first, then the text that will be displayed second.

Grime also contains [[music|musical]] 
influences from Hip-Hop.

Grime also contains musical influences from Hip-Hop.

• Endings are blended into the link.
• Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible.
• Blending can be suppressed by using </nowiki> tags, which may be desirable in some instances. Example: Trimbal.

Grime also contains [[music]]al 
influences from Hip-Hop.

Wiley#Early_Work is a link to a section within another page. This one being the "Early Work" section on the "Wiley" page

#Links and URLs is a link to another section on the current page. This one links to the section you are currently in, the "Links and URLs" section.

Wiley's earlier work is a piped link to a section within another page.

• The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page.
• Include "| link title" to create a stylish (piped) link title.

• Redirect one article title to another by placing a directive like the one shown to the right on the first line of the article (such as at a page titled "Bossman Birdie").
• It is possible to redirect to a section. For example, a redirect to Wiley#Mixtapes will redirect to the Wiley page, to the "mixtapes" section if it exists.

#REDIRECT [[Bossman]]

#REDIRECT [[Wiley#Mixtapes]] will redirect to the 
[[Wiley]] page, to the "mixtapes"
