The above WikiText types are only recognised in ''block mode''. However, the text <<.em enclosed>> by most of them will be parsed in ''inline mode'' ([[Block Quotes in WikiText]] and [[Styles and Classes in WikiText]] are the two exceptions in which the parser will continue in ''block mode''). While in ''inline mode'' the parser may encounter something which moves it to ''block mode'' (see [[WikiText parser mode transitions]]).
At the end of the terminating line, the parser will return to ''block mode''.
