Help on formatting text
Text on this wiki is written in a form very close to how you might write
text for an email message. This style of text formatting is called [[MarkDown]].
Leave blank lines between paragraphs.
You can *emphasise* or **strongly emphasise** text by placing it
in single or double asterisks.
To create a list, start each line with an asterisk:
- "* this is my list"
- "* another item"
To make a numbered list, start each line with a number (any number will
do) followed by a period:
- "1. first line"
- "2. second line"
- "2. third line"
To create a header, start a line with one or more # characters followed
by a space and the header text. The number of # characters controls the
size of the header:
## h2
### h3
#### h4
To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes on their own
line:
To quote someone, prefix the quote with ">":
To be or not to be,
that is the question.
To write a code block, indent each line with a tab or 8 spaces:
10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
20 GOTO 10
To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double
square brackets, so you would use \[[WikiLink]] to link to [[WikiLink]].
To link to any other web page, or to an email address, you can just put the url in angle brackets: <http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net>, or you can use the form
[link text](url)
Advanced users can use [[PreProcessorDirective]]s to do additional cool
stuff.
Also, if the smiley plugin is enabled in your wiki, you can insert
[[smileys]] and some other useful symbols.
