1 Text Formatting Rules

Leave blank lines between paragraphs. Use [[BR]] to insert linebreaks into paragraphs.

You can render text in italics or bold. To write italics, enclose the text in double single quotes. To write bold, enclose the text in triple single quotes. You get ^{superscripted text} by enclosing it into caret characters.

To insert program source without reformatting in a monospace font, use three curly braces:

10 PRINT "Hello, world!" 
20 GOTO 10 

Note that within code sections, both inline and display ones, any wiki markup is ignored. An alternative and shorter syntax for inlined code is to use backtick characters (note that this can be disabled by the site's configuration, but is enabled by default).

For more information on the possible markup, see HelpOnEditing.

1.1 Example

Mixing ''italics'' and '''bold''': 
 * '''''Mix''' at the beginning'' 
 * '''''Mix'' at the beginning''' 
 * '''Mix at the ''end''''' 
 * ''Mix at the '''end''''' 
 
You might recall ''a''^2^ `+` ''b''^2^ `=` ''c''^2^ from your math lessons. 
 
An { { {inline code sequence} } } has the start and end markers on the same line. Or you use `backticks`. 
 
A code display has them on different lines: { { { 
'''No''' markup here! 
} } } 

1.2 Display

• Mix at the beginning
• Mix at the beginning
• Mix at the end
• Mix at the end

You might recall a² + b² = c² from your math lessons.

An inline code sequence has the start and end markers on the same line. Or you use backticks.

A code display has them on different lines:

'''No''' markup here! 

1.3 Colorized code displays

1. start a code display with a line only containing "#!python"
2. embed a file attachment bearing a ".py" extension via "inline:"
3. start a page with a Python format processing instruction ("#format python")

Example:
