Hi Chong Wang,
That is the wiki markup for bolding text within the " ''' " that you
see
inside the dumps. In the rendered page, it would show as *bold*.
Hope this helps!

Hi, everyone.
I am doing a research project about wikipedia searching. I downloaded wiki
dumps from this page:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121001/
But I have a quick question about a symbol in the dumps. I am wondering
the meaning of " ''' " in all wiki pages. For example,
'''Port St. Lucie'''
is a city in St. Lucie county, Florida. I thought the phrase between ''' is
the title of the wiki page. But I saw, in the same page, several other
phrases, like "city council" and "city Manager" are also quoted by
'''. So
could you help on this?
Thanks in advance.
Chong Wang
