-# Help on formatting text
-
-Text on this wiki is, by default, written in a form very close to how you
-might write text for an email message. This style of text formatting is
-called [[MarkDown]], and it works like this:
-
-Leave blank lines between paragraphs.
-
-You can \**emphasise*\* or \*\***strongly emphasise**\*\* text by placing it
-in single or double asterisks.
-
-To create a list, start each line with an asterisk:
-
-* "* this is my list"
-* "* another item"
-
-To make a numbered list, start each line with a number (any number will
-do) followed by a period:
-
-1. "1. first line"
-2. "2. second line"
-2. "2. third line"
-
-To create a header, start a line with one or more `#` characters followed
-by a space and the header text. The number of `#` characters controls the
-size of the header:
-
-# # h1
-## ## h2
-### ### h3
-#### #### h4
-
-To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes on their own
-line:
-
-----
-
-To quote someone, prefix the quote with ">":
-
-> To be or not to be,
-> that is the question.
-
-To write a code block, indent each line with a tab or 4 spaces:
-
-       10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
-       20 GOTO 10
-
-To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double
-square brackets, so you would use `\[[WikiLink]]` to link to [[WikiLink]].
-
-To link to any other web page, or to an email address, you can just put the url in angle brackets: <<http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net>>, or you can use the form
-\[link text\]\(url\)
-

-
-Advanced users can use [[PreProcessorDirective]]s to do additional cool
-stuff.
-
-Also, if the smiley plugin is enabled in your wiki, you can insert
-[[smileys]] and some other useful symbols.
