Wiki formatting is very simple. An item wrapped in three single quotes is
-strong. An item wrapped in two single quotes is emphasized. Any word with
-multiple CapitalLetters (e. g., StudlyCaps) will become a link (standard
-[[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] work too). Four or more
-hyphen characters at the start of a line create a horizontal line.
-Newlines turn into the appropriate tags. Headers are matching equals signs
-around the header text -- the more signs, the lesser the header.

+Links are standard [[WikiLinks|WikiLink]], although you can also enable
+[[CamelCase]] links.
Lists are indented text, by one tab or four spaces. In unordered lists,
where each item has its own bullet point, each item needs a leading
of one or more alphanumeric characters followed by a period and an optional
space. Any indented text without either marking is code, handled literally.
You can nest lists.
