Formatting rules

   When you save a page, Zwiki formats and links your text according to some standard rules.
   Different rules are applied depending on the *page type*;
   they are described at ZWiki:TextFormattingRules.
   The default is ZWiki:StructuredText which works like this:

   1. non-blank lines are run together to form a paragraph; 
      paragraphs are separated by blank lines<br />

   2. a one-line "paragraph" followed by a more-indented paragraph makes a
      heading. Tip: you need only indent the first line.<br />

   3. a paragraph beginning with - or a number followed by a space makes a bullet
      or numbered list item; a more-indented list item starts a sub-list<br />

   4. short text enclosed in 
      &#42;...&#42; , 
      &#42;&#42;...&#42;&#42; , 
      &#95;...&#95; or 
      &#39;...&#39; is *italic*, **bold**, _underlined_ or 'monospaced' respectively<br />

   5. WikiName's, [Free-form name]s enclosed in brackets, ZWiki:RemoteWikiLinks , 
      http://bare/urls , and "Structured Text links":http://zwiki.org/StructuredText are
      made into hyperlinks

   6. HTML tags may be added if necessary; on sites which permit it,
      DTML (server-side code) may also be used <br />

   7. short text enclosed in single quotes is quoted, ie
      displayed in monospace font and protected from some of the above formatting. 
      For reliable quoting of a body of text, indent it after a paragraph 
      ending with a double colon ::

       Like this (edit this page to see source).
       This is the surest way to prevent WikiLinks, <HTML tags> and &dtml-tags;
        and preserve
         fixed-width formatting.

   8. don't bother trying to learn all the text formatting rules and 
      their interactions. Mimic the text around you;
      when it does something unexpected, tweak it until it looks right; 
      go to the docs or ask for help when you get really stuck or curious.
