Names of pages have to LookLikeThis. It's called a WikiName. If you write a word that LookLikeThis, it will be automatically turned into a link. More details about this you find on HelpForBeginners.

The following pages describe the elements (wiki markup) you can use to get special formatting effects:

- HelpOnFormatting - general text formatting rules

- HelpOnLinking - external hyperlinks and inline images

- HelpOnHeadlines - section headings

- HelpOnRules - horizontal rules

- HelpOnMacros - system macros

- Variable substitution - which variables are substituted (like @SIG@, @MAILTO@ ...)

- HelpOnParsers - data processing parsers (replaces Processors)

To experiment with wiki markup, go to the WikiSandBox and then click on "EditText" at the bottom of the page. Use your browser's "open a new window with this link" feature on the word "WikiSandBox", so you can keep the help pages open side-by-side to the editing window.
