<strong>Preventing linking:</strong> Prefix with "~!": ~!~DoNotHyperlink, name links like ~[~[text | URL] (double up on the "[").%%%
<strong>Misc:</strong> "~!", "~!~!", "~!~!~!" make headings, "%%<em></em>%" makes a linebreak, "-<em></em>-<em></em>-<em></em>-" makes a horizontal rule.%%%
<strong>Tables:</strong> »|« as first char, »|« for more columns, »|>« align right, »|<« align left, »|^« centered (default), »||« span columns, »|v« span rows

----
! 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
* %%<em></em>% 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 here:definition 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:

<pre>
 This is in monospace
</pre>
This is not

!Indented Paragraphs

* semicolon-colon -- works like <BLOCKQUOTE>

;:this is an indented block of text

! Emphasis

* Use doubled single-quotes ('<strong></strong>') for emphasis (usually <em>italics</em>)
* Use doubled underscores (_<em></em>_) for strong emphasis (usually <strong>bold</strong>)
* Mix them at will: <strong><em>bold italics</em></strong>
* <em>Emphasis</em> can be used <em>multiple</em> times within a line, but <em>cannot</em> 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] or 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: [PhpWiki home page | http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/]  - [the front page | HomePage]
* You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by preceding the word with a '~!', e.g. ~NotLinkedAsWikiName, ~http://not.linked.to/
* You can create footnotes by using ~[1], ~[2], ~[3], ... like this here #[|ftnt_ref_1]<sup>~[[1|#ftnt_1]~]</sup>. See footnote for counterpart.  (If the ~[ is in the first column, it is a footnote <em>definition</em> rather than a footnote <em>reference</em> #[|ftnt_ref_1]<sup>~[[1|#ftnt_1]~]</sup>.)
* 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/demo/themes/default/images/png.png]
* Semantic links are named links like: is_a::WikiPage and attributes like size:-4000.
* A pagelink within square brackets starting with ":" is not backlinked.

! Tables

* Simple tables are available.  A table row is introduced by a <strong>|</strong> in the first column.  It is best described by example:
<pre>
      ||  _<em></em>_Name_<em></em>~_               |v _<em></em>_Cost_<em></em>~_   |v _<em></em>_Notes_<em></em>~_
      | _<em></em>_First_<em></em>~_   | _<em></em>_Last_<em></em>~_
      |> Jeff       |< Dairiki   |^  Cheap     |< Not worth it
      |> Marco      |< Polo      | Cheaper     |< Not available
</pre>
;:will generate
<?plugin OldStyleTable
||  <strong>Name</strong>               |v <strong>Cost</strong>   |v <strong>Notes</strong>
| <strong>First</strong>   | <strong>Last</strong>
|> Jeff       |< Dairiki   |^  Cheap     |< Not worth it
|> Marco      |< Polo      | Cheaper     |< Not available
?>

;:Note that multiple <strong>|</strong>'s lead to spanned columns, and <strong>v</strong>'s can be used to span rows.  A <strong>></strong> generates a right justified column, <strong><</strong> a left justified column and <strong>^</strong> a centered column (which is the default.)
;:With the new Help:TextFormatingsRules tables are only supported with the Help:OldStyleTablePlugin.


! 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.


-----

! Footnotes:

#[|ftnt_1]~[[1|#ftnt_ref_1]~]  By using ~[1] a second time (in the first column) the footnote itself is <em>defined</em>.  You may refer to a footnote as many times as you want, but you may only define it once on the page.  Note the the ~[1] in the footnote links back to the first reference, if there are multiple references there will be +'s after the ~[1] which will link to the other references.  (References which come <em>after</em> the footnote <em>definition</em> will not be linked to.)
