= Wiki Formatting =

One of the advantages of wikis is the simplified markup language they provide that is automatically translated into HTML. This allows authors to easily create web pages without needing to type lots of html tags.

This page demonstrates the formatting syntax that your program will translate into HTML

Font Styles
The wiki support the following font styles: bold, italic, bold italic, __underline__, strike-through, ``inline code``.

Heading
You can create heading by starting a line with one up to five '=' characters followed by a single space and the headline text. The line should end with a space followed by the same number of '=' characters. The number of "=" characters determines which HTML heading tag is used.

The entire heading will be on one line, and nothing else should be on the line. There may be any number of space characters around each of the tokens, but there may not be spaces between the "=" characters.

Paragraphs
A new text paragraph is created whenever two blocks of text are separated by one or more empty lines.

A new paragraph also may start if the preceding line is from a list, from the end of a preformatted text block, or a heading. Similarly a paragraph may end if the next line is the start of a list or a preformatted text block or a heading.

Lists
The wiki supports unordered lists without nesting: * Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3

A blank line signals the end of the list, but a blank line is not required to start the list. If there is not a blank line at the end of the list, the text that follows is part of the last item, even if it is a heading or preformatted text.

Preformatted Text
Block quotes, preformatted text, are suitable for source code snippets, notes and examples. Use three curly braces wrapped around the text to define a block quote. For example:

Blank lines are not required on either side of the curly braces to define the start and end of the preformatted text. All wiki syntax is ignored between the curly braces.

Links
Links can be given a more descriptive title by writing the link followed by a space and a title and all this inside two square brackets:

* DrProject * CDF Home

Links and font styles can happen inside paragraphs, list items, or heading, but will not be interpreted inside a preformatted block.
