-  Separate each paragraph with a blank line.
  -  To display a word or phrase in bold type, put it in asterisks: 
*bold type*.
  -  To display a word or phrase in italic, put it in underscores: 
_italic_.
  -  To display a word or phrase in bold italic, put it in double underscores: 
__bold italic__.
  -  To link to another Wiki topic, type the WikiWord for that topic. To link to a Wiki topic in another web, type the name of the web, and a dot, first: 
Sandbox.WebHome.
  -  If you enter a WikiWord for a topic that doesn't exist, it'll appear highlighted with a red-link, prompting you (or someone else) to start off the new topic by clicking the link - NewTopic (click the link, but don't save, to preserve the example!).
  -  When entering WikiName signatures - like, guest - include "Main." as a prefix, since all TWiki member pages are in the Main web: 
Main.YourName.
  -  For an external link, type the full URL: 
http://twiki.org/.
  -  To prevent a WikiWord from becoming a link, type 
<nop> or an exclamation point first: <nop>NoLinkPlease or !NoLinkPlease.
  -  To indent with a bullet, enter 
[space][space][space][asterisk][space]. 
-  Use multiples of 3 spaces to start nested bullets.  
   
  -  To create a numbered list: 
-  Start items in a numbered list with 
[space][space][space][1][space].
  -  The "1" (or any number) will be replaced by the correct number, in order.
  -  To add a new paragraph without restarting list numbering, use the %BR% variable, like below:
   Text added (in new paragraph)
  -  and list numbering continues.
   
  -  Always start counting spaces for bullets and such from the beginning of a new line.
  -  To include an image, type its URL. You also can Attach an image to the page and display it with text 
  %ATTACHURL%/yourimagefilename.jpg
  -  To display a word or phrase in 
MONOSPACED TYPE, put it in equal signs: =like this=.  Use ==two== for bold: bold mono.
  -  Use 
<verbatim> to enclose code excerpts, filenames, and other unformatted text:       <verbatim>        unformatted text!        </verbatim>            NOTE: VARIABLES can be set within verbatim tags, that is, they are not disabled
  -  Use 
<literal> to enclose anything that TWiki must not touch under any circumstances, such as in-line HTML code.
  -  Follow GoodStyle recommendations when editing topics.
  -  See TextFormattingRules for the complete set of formatting rules.
