Hypertext Syntax

Absolute Essential

The essential markdown syntax for MediaWiki are:

1. Hierarchical Markdown: use =
2. Hyperlink: use [ and ]
3. Transclusion: use { and }

They are essential because they formally define the structure of a hyperlinked document space.

Hierarchical Markdown

Use a number of balanced equal signs (=) to format the level of section titles. Larger number of equal signs indicates lower level.
