Paragraphs

• Words wrap and fill as needed.
• Use blank lines as separators.
• Four or more minus signs at the start of a line make a horizontal ruler.
• %%% makes a linebreak
  (in headings and lists too).
• In order to use preformated text use "space" as the first character of a line (monospace font).

This is preformatted text using a monospace font (space as first character).

Lists

• * at the start of a line for first level
• ** for second level, etc.
• Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
• One line for each item
• Other leading whitespace signals preformatted text, changes font.

Headings

• '!' at the start of a line makes a small heading.
• '!!' at the start of a line makes a medium heading.
• '!!!' at the start of a line makes a large heading.
• '!!!!' at the start of a line makes a main heading. Do not use for other than system pages, because the system will automatically create a heading for you.

Emphasis

• Use doubled single-quotes ('') for emphasis (italics).
• Use doubled underscore (__) for strong emphasis (bold).
• Use doubled parentheses (( and )) for smaller text.
• Emphasis can be used multiple times within a line, but cannot cross line boundaries.

References (Links)

• Hyperlinks to other pages can be made by enclosing the word in square brackets: [RecentChanges] or [recent changes].
• To make hyperlinks to foreign pages, precede them with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" (obfuscated!) to create links automatically as in: http://www.google.com.
• URLs ending with .png, .gif, .jpg are inlined.
• To left- or right-align an inlined picture, the link text can be "left" or "right" respectively.
• It is possible to give your link a different name by using square brackets and '|' like this: [FAQ|Questions and answers] produces: Questions and answers.
• To output brackets as-is, put them in doubles: [[ and ]]

Mark-Up Language (HTML)

• Don't bother.
• < and > and & are themselves.
