Character Formatting
Emphasis
- '''''Five apostrophes''''' = Five apostrophes
Code
Code may be entered as monospace lines by beginning a line with a space. Formatting is preserved. For example:
for(int a=0;a<1;a++) { do_something(); }
HTML and Wiki-code is still processed in monospace lines.
URLs, Links
This is quite easy, use single [] or double [[ ]].
- Internal links: [[Support Home]] = Support Home .
- External links as footnotes: [http://mozilla.org/] = [1].
- Named external links: BitchShut up</nowiki> = Shut up.
- Any trick with anchors works in the wiki too.

Lists
Lists: *,# at the beginning of a line gives
- Unordered list
- Ordered list
For levels of lists, add more *,#s:
