URLs: Images referred to by URL will appear in-line, other URLs will appear as hyperlinks, just use the usual syntax, i.e. http://veryquickwiki.sourceforge.net/ or mailto:vqwiki@veryquick.org

If you want to substitute these links with something more readable, you can use __hyperlink|substitution__ or __externalReference|substitution__. E.g. http://veryquickwiki.sourceforge.net/|Very+Quick+Wiki or amazon:com:1400052939|THHGTTG
In the subsitution, use "+" for space and "\+" for "+".
__WikiTopic|substitution__ does not work at the moment. Not recommended workaround: __vq:WirtualWiki:WikiTopic|subsitution__.

Formatting __between double underscores__ is ignored, unless the double underscore is preceded by a backslash: \

Lists: 3 spaces, * for bullet lists. 3 spaces, # for numbered lists. 3 spaces, $ for glossar term.  3 spaces, = for glossar explanation .e.g.
Bulleted
	*item one
	*item two

Numbered
	# item one
	# item two

Glossar
	$ term
	= explanation

__You can use tables by putting four hashes (####) on a line by themselves, then one table row of text per line with two hashes (##) after each cell (including the last cell in the row. End the table with four hashes by themselves.__

Pre-formatted text can be displayed by leading with four at signs (__@____@____@____@__) by themselves. Leave a blank line by itself to end the block, e.g.:
@@@@
here is some preformatted code

Inline code can be produced by surrounding text in three braces: __{{{code}}}__ = {{{code}}}

Comments can be included usint __%%%% comment__ at the end of each line or __%%%% some lines of comments %%%%__

If you want to join the current line with the next line, use __\\__.

To set an automatic redirection from one topic to another, just put __redirect:OtherTopicName__ or __redirect:"Other Topic Name__" as the body of the topic. If you wish to change or remove the redirection later, put text of the form __edit:TopicName__ in some other topic - this will link directly to the edit page for the given topic so the redirection can be altered or removed.

For more details, look at the Quick Editing Help, that is displayed, when you edit a page.
