I still need to do some more editing, but this should be adequate for now. -- Steve Brumbaugh, 22 November 2004
Paragraphs

- Blank lines (ones with only a carriage return or with only spaces and tabs) mark the end of a paragraph.

Links
WikiNames
- WikiNames are comprised of two or more words put together; each word begins with an uppercase letter, and is followed by at least one lowercase letter or number.
- Words in which this condition is met become a WikiName, and a link is automatically attached.
- Example statement
WikiName - WikiName HogeRule1 - WikiName NOTWIKINAME - All of the letters are uppercase, so this is not a WikiName WikiNAME - All of the letters in NAME are uppercase, so this is not a WikiName *fooWikiName - This begins with "foo", which is in all lowercase, so this is not a WikiName
- Example output
- WikiName - WikiName
- HogeRule1 - WikiName
- NOTWIKINAME - All of the letters are uppercase, so this is not a WikiName
- WikiNAME - All of the letters in NAME are uppercase, so this is not a WikiName
- fooWikiName - This begins with "foo", which is in all lowercase, so this is not a WikiName
Linking to other Wiki pages
If a page name is surrounded with two pairs of brackets, it becomes a link to that page.
- Example statement
For example, if you write [[EnglishTextFormattingRules]], it becomes a link to that page.
- Example output
For example, if you write EnglishTextFormattingRules, it becomes a link to that page.
Linking to an arbitrary URL
If a phrase and URL, separated by a vertical line, are surrounded with two pairs of brackets, it becomes a link to an arbitrary URL.
- Example statement
Links like [[Yahoo!|http://www.yahoo.com/]] are also possible.
- Example output
Links like Yahoo![外部] are also possible.
In this case, if the URL ends with jpg., .jpeg, .png, or .gif, the image is displayed on the page. (The specified phrase becomes the ALT text for that image.)
- Example statement
[[Four-leaf clover|http://jp.rubyist.net/theme/clover/clover_h1.png]]

Preformatted text
- Lines beginning with spaces or tabs will be treated as preformatted text.

<title>Hello!</title>
</head>
<body>

Text decoration
- Text surrounded by sets of two single quotes ('') is emphasized.
- Text surrounded by sets of three single quotes (''') is strongly emphasized.
