Paragraphs are typed exactly as is, with the first character appearing on column 1 (the left margin). Paragraphs are separated by a fully blank line. Text that is not separated by a blank line will "wrap" on this wiki.
The top section was created by putting a space in column #1. The bottom section was created by taking the space out of column #1. That is the only difference between the monospaced (Courier type) output, which looks like it used <pre> tags, and the HTML version below it.

Horizontal lines are created by 4 consecutive hyphens placed at the beginning of a line.
----
The display example of 4 hyphens on the line above was not Wikified (turned into an HTML horizontal rule) by the fact that it actually consists of 3 hyphens, 6 single quote marks ('), and a 4th hyphen.
Header titles are created by surrounding the Title itself with an equal sign (=) and a space character, like this:
If those equal signs began on column #1, they would produce this output:
Indentation is customarily used for replies or conversation between members of the Wiki community, or for some subpoints that need to stand out in a paragraph of text. Indentation is accomplished by putting a colon (:) and a space in the first column of the line.
: ''A reply from a Wiki member might be indented and put in italics so that it
stands out. To create italics, add 2 apostrophes at the beginning of the paragraph,
and '''also''' two single quotes at the end of the paragraph.''
To increase the indentation, add an additional colon to each line:
: This line will be indented :: This line will be indented more ::: Three levels of indentation
...will result in:
Wiki links are spontaneously created by the pattern of a leading capital letter, followed by 1 or more lowercase letters, followed by a capital letter within a word. Thus, something like XY will not be Wikified, but XaY? will be. You will see a question mark (?) immediately after XaY?, which means that a Wiki page has been created but it has no content in it.
To defeat automatic page-creation, such as a term like "WordStar" that you do not want auto-linked, insert six apostrophes (') before the second capital letter.
In the Wiki source code, it would look like this: Word''''''Star
Defeating Wiki linking is often difficult if there are multiple links in a single line or paragraph that should not be Wikified. If anyone has tips on how to do this, please post an indented comment, below.
Font changes for italics, boldface, and bold+italics are created with single quotes or apostrophes ('). You must pair them (turning them both on and off). If you don't pair them, the first set of apostrophes will be ignored.
''This paragraph begins with 2 single quotes. The writer may have intended for it to be in italics, but since the quotes are not "closed", all you see are two apostrophes (which look like a stray double-quote mark at the beginning of the paragraph).
This paragraph begins with 2 single quotes, it ends with 2 single quotes, and all the text is entirely on one line in the textinput box. Because the paragraph has two terminating apostrophes, the Wiki engine presents the paragraph as entirely italic. You will notice that embedded boldface is also allowed. Just remember: if you turn it ON, you must turn it OFF.
Two consecutive apostrophes are ''italic''. Three apostrophes begin '''bold (remember to turn it off)''' and use 5 apostrophes for '''''bold italic font'''''. This will show literal examples and the output.

Numbered lists are created by prefixing each line with a pound sign (#). When the pound sign is in column #1, the list is auto-numbered, beginning with #1.
# Item 1 # Item 2 # Item 3
Unnumbered lists are created by prefixing each line with an asterisk (*). To be turned into a bullet mark, the asterisk must occur in column #1.
* Peaches * Pears * Pineapples
