    45Wiki markup is a core feature in Trac, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.
    56
    6 Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis,
    7 especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].

    109This page will give you an in-depth explanation of the wiki markup available anywhere WikiFormatting is allowed.

    12 The ''Cheat sheet'' below gives you a quick overview for the most common syntax, each link in the ''Category'' column will lead you to the more detailed explanation later in this page.

    1413A few other wiki pages present the advanced features of the Trac wiki markup in more depth:
    15  - TracLinks covers all the possible ways to refer precisely to any Trac resource or parts thereof,
    16  - WikiPageNames talks about the various names a wiki page can take, CamelCase or not
    17  - WikiMacros lists the macros available for generating dynamic content,
    18  - WikiProcessors and WikiHtml details how parts of the wiki text can be processed in special ways

    282284
    … …  
    285287 * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
    286288 * all the font styles marks have to be used in opening/closing pairs,
    287    and they must nest properly (in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired
    288    with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`)
    289 
    290 
    291 == Headings ==
    292 
    293 You can create heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters ("=")
    294 followed by a single space and the headline text.
    295 
    296 [=#hn] The headline text can be followed by the same number of "=" characters, but this is no longer mandatory.

    297298
    298299Finally, the heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.

    639 '''Note''': the [trac:WikiCreole] style for links is quick to type and
    640 certainly looks familiar as it's the one used on Wikipedia and in many
    641 other wikis. Unfortunately it conflicts with the syntax for [#Macros macros].
    642 So in the rare case when you need to refer to a page which is named after
    643 a macro (typical examples being TitleIndex, InterTrac and InterWiki),
    644 by writing `[[TitleIndex]]` you will actually call the macro instead of linking
    645 to the page.

    720 For more complex anchors (e.g. when a custom title is wanted), one can use the Span macro, e.g. `[[span(id=point2, class=wikianchor, title=Point 2, ^(2)^)]]`.
