Wikitext is the markup language used on Australian History to format content. Use three single quotes for bold text and two for italics. Infoboxes are templates used to summarize key information about vehicles, people, places, and species. They standardize data presentation, making it easier to find and compare information across different articles, enhancing readability and consistency.
