By default, this wiki uses MediaWiki syntax (just like [http://wikipedia.org wikipedia]), as well as some additional formatting bits from [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de MoinMoinWiki].

The rules:

[[TableOfContents()]]

== Headers ==
{{{
== Header Level 1 ==
=== Header Level 2 ===
==== Etcetera ====
}}}

== Links ==

{{{
[[Internal wiki link]]
[[Internal wiki link | with an interesting title]]

http://outside-link.com
[http://outside-link.com with an interesting title]
}}}

[[Internal wiki link]]<br>
[[Internal wiki link | with an interesting title]]<br>

http://outside-link.com<br>
[http://outside-link.com with an interesting title]<br>

== Paragraphs ==

Just leave a blank line to make a paragraph break:

{{{
two

paragraphs
}}}
two

paragraphs

To make a line break mid paragraph, use &lt;br&gt;.

== Emphasis ==

{{{
<b>bold</b> or '''bold'''
<i>italic</i> or ''italic''
<b><i>bold italic</i></b> or '''''bold italic'''''
}}}

<b>bold</b> or '''bold'''<br>
<i>italic</i> or ''italic''<br>
<b><i>bold italic</i></b> or '''''bold italic'''''<br>

== Lists ==

{{{
* bullet
** second level
*** third level
# Numbered
# lists
# are
# very
## very
### easy
## yup
### uhuh

* mixed
*# lists
*#* also
}}}

* bullet
** second level
*** third level
# Numbered
# lists
# are
# very
## very
### easy
## yup
### uhuh

* mixed
*# lists
*#* also

== Horizontal Rules ==

== Preformatted ==
<nowiki>
&lt;nowiki&gt; This is preformatted &lt;/nowiki&gt;
&lt;pre&gt; This is also preformatted.  &lt;/pre&gt;
</nowiki>
<nowiki> This is preformatted. </nowiki>
<pre> This is also preformatted. </pre>

== Tables ==
Tables use MoinMoin formatting, not MediaWiki formatting.  See [[HelpOnTables]]

== Macros ==

Additional functionality can be had by macros which do special things, like draw a table of contents or insert a search form.

Macros are like links but with a () on them:

{{{

[[TableOfContents()]]

}}}

[[TableOfContents()]]

== Meta Data ==

Meta data is information about a page.

Note:  you shouldn't use the backslashes on the {'s, they are used here to prevent this from being read as an actual meta data block.
