Links are created by placing square brackets around the link name (e.g. [aPageName]). If you need to create a [ character, use two of them (e.g. "[["). You don't need to double up the ] character unless you actually want to use it as part of the link name.
To create a new page, create a link to the page, first then click on the link to go there.
Don't waste names by renaming.
Wiki Renaming
When renaming a page, edit all the links even if the link looks correct!
Wiki Link Testing
Best is first rename the links, than the title.
If you want to create a link to an "outside" source, just include the full internet protocol name (e.g. [1] or [2] or [3]).
It should be possible to escape any special formatting characters (in the link or not) with backslash, just like in C.
If you want a link (either internal or outside) by another name, then place both the desired name and the actual link target as a pair separated by > character (e.g. [The Top > Home Page] or [me > mailto:myname@myplace.com]). Two carriage returns create a new paragraph. (One is ignored!) Use any HTML you want. The Wiki formatting rules will not be applied between a PRE tag. To create a horizontal line, start a line with '----'.
To create a bullet list item, start a line with a * character. More gives deeper lists.
To create a numbered list item, start a line with a # character. More gives deeper lists.
To create a heading, start a line with a ! character. More ! gives deeper headings.
[ISBN:xxxxxxx] will point to Amazon.
To create a table, start the line with a | (vertical bar) character followed by
{ for left alignment | for centered alignment } for right alignment
For each cell in the row, separate again by two such characters. Successive lines that start with the | and one of the above characters are added to the same table.
