Hi Chong Wang,<div><br></div><div>That is the wiki markup for bolding text within the &quot; &#39;&#39;&#39; &quot; that you see inside the dumps. In the rendered page, it would show as <b>bold</b>.</div><div><br></div><div>

Hope this helps!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 10:31 AM, Chong Wang <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:cw87.njit.edu@gmail.com" target="_blank">cw87.njit.edu@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi, everyone.<div><br></div><div>I am doing a research project about wikipedia searching. I downloaded wiki dumps from this page: <a href="http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121001/" target="_blank">http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121001/</a></div>



<div><br></div><div>But I have a quick question about a symbol in the dumps. I am wondering the meaning of &quot; &#39;&#39;&#39; &quot; in all wiki pages. For example, &#39;&#39;&#39;Port St. Lucie&#39;&#39;&#39; is a city in St. Lucie county, Florida. I thought the phrase between &#39;&#39;&#39; is the title of the wiki page. But I saw, in the same page, several other phrases, like &quot;city council&quot; and &quot;city Manager&quot; are also quoted by &#39;&#39;&#39;. So could you help on this?</div>



<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Chong Wang</div></font></span></div>
