You can look at "edit" of this page to see how the following simple markup works:
Contents
Top Header
Second: This is how you can do a section header
Third: Which can be nested by adding more equal signs
Fourth Header
The headings will be put into a table of contents at the top, but only when the page has 4 or more section headers (nested or not).
- This is an unordered (bullet) list.
- These can also be nested
- This is an ordered (numbered) list
- I think these can be nested as well
- They can
- Next ordered (numbered) list
- Nested
- Nested
- This will be indented
- Indented more
Lines starting with a space will be "preformatted", and placed in one of those typical dotted boxes.
Italic text
bold text
italic and bold
URLs are automaticly recognized, but there are more possibilities. For example:
http://some.domain/page.html shows the URL 'as is'
[1] shows up as an increasing number
alternative text shows up as "alternative text"
other wiki page link to other_wiki_page, shows as "other wiki page" alternative text link to other_wiki_page, shows as "alternative text"
this will stop the wiki from applying formatting; useful if you don't want URLs turned into links, for instance: http://some.domain/page.html
Alternatively, you can use the standard HTML tags.
