- If you add a [[WikiWord]] for a topic that doesn't exist, you'll see a question mark after it, prompting you (or someone else) to edit the new topic: [[FreshTopic]]. Once edited, enter the new WikiName and it will appear as a link to the that page.

- When entering WikiName links, include the home web name as a prefix, ex: all TWiki member pages are in the Main web, so enter <code>**Main.YourName**</code>.

- For an external link, just type the URL, starting with <code>**http://**</code>.

- To prevent a WikiName from becoming a link, type `<nop>` first, <code>**&lt;nop&gt;NoLinkPlease**</code>.

  - Use a multiple of 3 spaces to start **nested bullets**.

1. Start items in a **numbered list** with space-space-space-1-space.
2. The "1" (or **any number**) will be replaced by the correct number in order.

- Always start **counting** for bullets and such from the beginning of a new line.

- To include an **image**, type its URL. You also can Attach an image to the page and display it with text `%ATTACHURL%/yourimagefilename.jpg` .

- To display a word or phrase in `MONOSPACED TYPE`, surround it by '=' characters. Use two for bold: <code>**bold mono**</code> .
