This style of text formatting is +called [[MarkDown]], and it works like this: + +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. "1. first line" +2. "2. second line" +2. "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: + +# # h1 +## ## h2 +### ### h3 +#### #### h4 +##### ##### h5 +###### ###### h6 + +To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes or stars 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 4 spaces: + + 10 PRINT "Hello, world!" + 20 GOTO 10 + +To link to an url or email address, you can just put the +url in angle brackets: <>, or you can use the +form \[link text\]\(url\) + +---- + +In addition to basic html formatting using [[MarkDown]], this wiki lets +you use the following additional features: + +* To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double + square brackets.
