==== Paragraphs ====

  * Don't indent paragraphs
  * Words wrap and fill as needed
  * Use blank lines as separators
  * Four or more minus signs make a horizontal rule
  * %%////% makes a linebreak (in headings and lists too)

==== Lists ====

  * asterisk for first level
    * asterisk-asterisk for second level, etc.
  * Use * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists (mix at will)
  * semicolon-term-colon-definition for definition lists:

term heredefinition here, as in the <DL><DT><DD> list

  * 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

==== Fonts ====

  * Indent with one or more spaces to use a monospace font:

   This is in monospace

This is not

==== Indented Paragraphs ====

  * semicolon-colon -- works like <BLOCKQUOTE>

 this is an indented block of text

==== Emphasis ====

  * Use doubled single-quotes ('****') for emphasis (usually //italics//)
  * Use doubled underscores (_////_) for strong emphasis (usually **bold**)
  * Mix them at will: **//bold italics//**
  * //Emphasis// can be used //multiple// times within a line, but //cannot// cross line boundaries:

''this will not work''

==== References ====

  * Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the page name in square brackets: __this is a page link__[[edit=this is a page link|?]] or [[UsingWikiWords|UsingWikiWords]] (preferred)
  * Hyperlinks to external pages are done like this: http://www.wcsb.org/
  * You can name the links by providing a name, a bar (|) and then the hyperlink or pagename: [[http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/|PhpWiki home page]] - [[FrontPage|the front page]]
  * You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding the word with a '!', e.g. NotLinkedAsWikiName, http://not.linked.to/
  * [1], [2], [3], [4] refer to remote references. Click __EditLinks__[[edit=EditLinks|?]] on the edit form to enter URLs. These differ from the newer linking scheme; references are unique to a page.
  * Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs with "http:", "ftp:" or "mailto:" to create links automatically as in: http://c2.com/
  * URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves: {{http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/images/png.png}}

==== HTML Mark-Up Language ====

  * Don't bother
  * < and > are themselves
  * The & characters will not work
  * If you really must use HTML, your system administrator can enable this feature. Start each line with a bar (|). Note that this feature is disabled by default.
