Most of the weird and wonderful markup syntax of the original Wiki is omitted, as HTML markup is allowed. This is easily abusable, so please don't.

We have our own special markup too, of course: this consists of a funny character followed by an argument in parens. To avoid quoting nightmares, on this page I have inserted an extra space between the character and the open-paren. Don't type it for real.

As a convenience, text is assumed to start a new paragraph -- will be rendered preceded by a P tag -- if preceded by a blank line and not starting with a left-angle bracket. This seems to work passably well unless you want to start a paragraph with marked-up text. You'll just have to add the P tag yourself in that case

Don't expect to be able to type SGML entities (e.g. ampersand-l-t-semicolon), and have them work, as they tend to be translated into the actual characters they represent (e.g. less-than sign). This is a known bug, but is unlikely to get fixed any time soon
