!! Why use wiki syntax?
Wiki syntax is a way to add word-processor like formatting to content in the website. Consisting of special characters that you enter along with the text, wiki syntax is designed for non-programmers be easy to use. E.g., typing ~np~__bold text__~/np~ with underscores creates __bold text__. Typing ~np~((Wiki Syntax|link))~/np~ creates a ((Wiki Syntax|link)) to the page ''Wiki Syntax''.

!! Quicklinks
Eventually many users memorize the wiki syntax they use, but you don't have to. It the ((QuicklinksPackage|Quicklinks)) package is enabled, the quicklink buttons above the edit window will apply the chosen formatting to any selected text.

!! Plugins
If you are looking for a way to include __CODE__ (with highlighting for various languages) or __DIV__ or __IMG and ATTACHMENT__ please refer to ((DataPlugins|the list of data plugins)).
