== Heading ==
+
 
+
You can type things pretty much as you would expect and the
+
paragraph will flow from line to line. Leaving a blank line
+
will start a new paragraph.
+
 
+
When typing you can ''emphasize text'', to '''make a point''',
+
but that stops being '''''fun''''' after a while.
+
 
+
=== Sub Heading ===
+
 
+
One of the fun parts of a wiki is linking:
+
* [[Page]] link
+
** Same thing as [[Page]]s and [[page]]
+
* [[Page#Sub Heading]] same as [[Page#Sub Heading 1=
+
** You could also link to [[Page#Sub Heading 2]]
+
* [[Page|a sample page]] also works
+
 
+
To link to the wider wilder web:
+
* http://locationtech.org
+
* [http://locationtech.org LocationTech]
+
* [locationtech.org] <!-- shows up as [1] -->
+
 
+
Remember:
+
:You can create a link to a page that does not exist yet
+
 
+
Where:
+
; page link : can be clicked to jump to a page
+
; external link
+
: will take you to another web page
+
 
+
=== Sub Heading ===
+
 
+
Hacking with html is mostly allowed - here is a code example:
+
<code>x = x  1;</code> although you probably want to break
+
out a pre tag for examples of more then one line.</pre>
