Paragraphs

• separate paragraphs inside the text with empty lines
• use three percent signs %%% to enforce a line break
• if you prepend text with spaces or tabs it will get indented

!! Headlines

• use an exclamation mark ! at the beginning of a line to create a small headline
• !! for medium
• !!! for large headlines

text style

• if you want to emphasize text enclose it in two single-quotes '' (usually looks italic)
• text gets bold with two underscores __ (or if enclosed with two asterisks **)
• to make text big enclose it in hash characters ##
• you can get smaller text using "µµ" likewise
• a typewrite like font will be used if you enclose text in two equal == signs

Lists

• start a line with an asterisk * to begin a list
• use # instead for numerated lists
  1. you can create sublists
  2. subsequent list points should start with the same mix of * and #

HyperLinks

• just enter a ?WikiWord inside your text to create a new ?HyperLink
• enclose some ?words in square brackets to create a HyperLink inside the ?WikiWikiWeb which is not made up of a valid ?WikiWord
• any valid internet address (starting with http://) like http://www.example.com/ inside the text will be made clickable automagically
• enclose a www address or a WikiLink inside square brackets [freshmeat] and assign it a neat title using quotation marks or the | character
  • [title | http://example.com]
  • [WikiWord "title"] or ["title for" WikiLink]
• if you don't want a WikiWord or a http://www-address (or [anything] inside square brackets) to become a HyperLink then just prepend it with a exclamation mark or a tilde
  • !NoHyperLink, ~NoHyperLink
  • ![no hyperlink], !http://nolink.org/

Tables with |

just enclose	things with the dash	character
to build a	table structure
browsers usually	leave out the missing	cells

Please always put an empty line before and after a table, so it stands out from other text in its own paragraph.

Pictures

• to include an image into a page enclose its absolute www-address in square brackets, like ![]
• alternatively you could use the ?ImageUploading function, see ?EditThisPage
