Blank lines will create new paragraphs.
1st paragraph 2nd paragraph
At least three dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs, a space, then the heading text. One
+ creates a level 1 - H1 - heading (largest), ++ creates level 2, etc, to the maximum level 6. 
Automatically generate a Table of Contents based on this headings notation, using the %TOC% variable (see TWikiVariables). Any heading text after !! is excluded from the TOC; for example, write ---+!! text if you do not want to list a header in the TOC.

Words get bold by enclosing them in
* asterisks.
*Bold*
Words get italicized by enclosing them in underscores:
_.
_Italic_
For bold italics, enclose words in double-underscores:
__.
__Bold italic__
Words appear as
fixed font by enclosing them in equal signs: =.
=Fixed font=
Fixed font
For
bold fixed font, enclose words in double equal signs: ==.
==Bold fixed==
Bold fixed
NOTE: Be sure to "stick" the * _ = == signs to the words removing spaces.
_This works_, _this doesn't _
Surround code excerpts and other formatted text with
<verbatim> </verbatim> tags. 
Use <pre> </pre> tags instead if you want HTML code to be interpreted. NOTE: Each opening and closing tag must be on a line by itself.
<verbatim>
class CatAnimal {
void purr() {
<code here>
}
}
</verbatim>
class CatAnimal {
void purr() {
<code here>
}
}
At least three dashes at the beginning of a line.
-------
Three spaces and an asterisk:
*. (Adding a space after looks best.)
* bullet item
- bullet item
Six, nine, ... spaces and an asterisk.
NOTE: From 01-Sep-2001 TWiki, you can no longer create a standalone double indented bullet by using 6 spaces - a preceding 3-space bullet is required.
* first level bullet
* nested stuff
- first level bullet
- nested stuff
Three spaces, a number, a (recommended) space.
1 Sushi 1 Dim Sum
- Sushi
- Dim Sum
Three spaces, the term, a colon, a space, followed by the definition.
NOTE: Terms with spaces are not supported. For a term with more than one word, separate the words with dashes or with the non-breaking-space entity: .
Sushi: Japan Dim Sum: S.F.
- Sushi
- Japan
- Dim Sum
- S.F.
Optional spaces followed by the cells enclosed in vertical bars.
| *bold* | cells are rendered as table headers. | spaced | cells are rendered center aligned. | spaced | cells are rendered right aligned. | 2 colspan || cells are rendered as multi-span columns. To make a long row more readable when in edit mode, you can split the row into lines by ending each one with a backslash character: '\'. | *L* | *C* | *R* | | A2 | 2 | 2 | | A3 | 3 | 3 | | multi span ||| | A4 \ | next \ | next |

CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically.
NOTE: To link to a topic in a different TWiki web, you must prepend the web name, followed by a period: Webname.TopicName.
WebNotify Know.ReadmeFirst
You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets.
Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; ex:
[[text formatting FAQ]] links to topic TextFormattingFAQ. You can also refer to a different web and use anchors.
[[wiki syntax]] [[Main.TWiki users]]
Create a link where you can specify the link text and the link reference separately, using nested square brackets:
[[reference][text]]. Internal link references (ex: WikiSyntax) and external link references (ex: http://TWiki.org/) are supported. The same Forced Links rules apply for internal link references. Anchor names can be added as well, like [[Home_#MyAnchor][go home]] and [[http://www.yahoo.com/#somewhere][Yahoo!]].
[[WikiSyntax][syntax]] [[http://gnu.org][GNU]]
You can define a link reference inside a TWiki topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To define an anchor write
#AnchorName at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord. To link to an anchor name use the [[MyTopic#MyAnchor]] syntax. You can omit the topic name if you want to link within the same topic.
[[WebHome#NotThere]] [[#MyAnchor][Jump]] #MyAnchor To here
Prevent a WikiWord from being linked by prepending it with the
<nop> tag.
<nop>SunOS
You can disable automatic linking of WikiWords by surrounding text with
<noautolink> and </noautolink> tags. Note: Each tag must be on a line by itself.
Note: This also works for TWiki tables, but only if you add a blank line between the end of the table and the closing
</noautolink> tag (known issue of the TablePlugin).
<noautolink> RedHat & SuSE </noautolink>
