Working in TWiki is as easy as typing in text - exactly like email. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter [[WikiWords]]. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all layed out below - refer back to this page in a pop-up window from the **Edit** screen.
- **A:** The `'<'` and `'>'` characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write `'<'` instead of `'<'`, and `'>'` instead of `'>'`. <br /> Example: Type `'prog <filename>'` to get `'prog <filename>'`.
- **Q:** Why is the `'&'` character sometimes not displayed?
- - **A:** The `'&'` character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, i.e. `'©'` is the `©` copyright character. You need to escape `'&'` to see it as it is, so write `'&'` instead of `'&'`. <br /> Example: Type `'This & that'` to get `'This & that'`.
