Wikitext is a language used to write pages in wiki websites and it is an alternative to html. Its purpose is to be converted by the wiki into HTML(HyperText Markup Language),which in turn is served to web browsers.It styles up our fonts ,various sizes,color,layout.....and this is just to list a few.

When using wikitext,it is essential to be familiar with HTML and if you can memorise various basic codes and take note of special codes,you do not need to be a master of HTML. In wikis it is helpful in creating our signatures for talk page,userpages,talk pages and various other pages you can style on. It is also important to use it on the templates we use such as userboxes and character templates and sometimes we need to create or find images to assist us in the styling as just wikitext cannot make everything nice and neat.

However,sometimes when styling,you need to plan out what you want to do beforehand as it may start to get more complicated after a few moments of coding and it might just turn out messy. There are many advantages when you learn coding other than in wikis,when you master some skills,you might just end up being able to code up websites as around the web,all websites are filled with HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Since this is an introduction,a lengthy one might not be easy to understand so err.....Welcome to the world of wikitext !
