Editing instructions

Separate paragraphs with a blank line. Press enter in the middle of a paragraph to force a line break.
Italicize text by surrounding it with /slashes/.
Bold text by surrounding it with *asterisks*.
Underline text by surrounding it with _underscores_.

Link to another page by putting brackets around the page title. For example, to link to the front page you'd write [front page].
URLs (http://www.example.com/) and e-mail addresses (john@example.com) are linked automatically.
- You can specify the link text by putting the URL or address in brackets followed by the text. So for example, [http://www.example.com/ Click this link!] becomes Click this link!
- You can link to local pages by writing the page URL starting with a slash. So to link to this page you'd write [/help/editing-instructions this page].
- You can link to a page in another directory by writing the directory name before the page title. So to link to this page from outside the /help/ directory, you'd write [/help/ editing instructions]. Don't forget the slashes on both ends!

Create a section heading with equal signs: == Heading ==. Use dashes for sub-headings.
Create a separator by putting three dashes on a line: ---.
Create a list by starting a line with an asterisk (*), number (1.), letter (A or a), or roman numeral (I or i).
- You can nest lists by indenting items two spaces.

You can include source code in a page by surrounding it with [[double brackets]].
You can create a block of source code by putting the opening and closing brackets on separate lines.
- Write the language name after the opening brackets to have the code syntax highlighted. Ex:
  [[C++
  int main() { return 0; }
  ]]
- Supported languages: C, C++, Java, PHP and Cyan (my own personal language).

Note: To include special formatting characters verbatim escape them with a backslash, \*like this\*.
