-  TWiki has very simple text formatting rules. You won't go wrong if you: 
-  start each line without spaces
  -  separate paragraphs with a blank line 
   
    | 
|   |  
 - 
 
-  make up meaningful Wiki names - it can be a challenge (it'll sharpen you up!)
  -  WikiWords has name-creation tips that may help

-  If a discussion is going on: 
-  separate each follow-up with a horizontal rule
  -  add your WikiName and the date at the end
  -  OR, by all means, insert your comment where it seems to fit best: 
-  you may want to inset it with a bullet and/or set it in italics so it's clear (always sign and date)

-  A good format for a new topic is "dissertation followed by discussion":  
-  start with a brief, factual introduction
   
    | 
|   |  
-  When a discussion dies down and the page becomes static, feel free to refactor mercilessly: 
-  fearlessly edit down to capture the key points
  -  reduce the noise without losing the facts or the flavor

-  For external site links, you can type URLs directly into the text -

-  TWiki is international, and an international standard date format like 01 Sep 2001 is preferred. A date like 9/1/01, can mean either January or September, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,...

-  TWiki is intended for world-wide use, and an international standard date format like 01 Sep 2001 is preferred. It's universally understood, and clearer than the xx/xx/xx format, where a date like 9/1/01 can mean either Jan or Sep, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,...

-  Look at the source when you want to find out how something is formatted: click More on the lower toolbar, then checkmark Raw text format and click on [ View revision ]. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with TWiki how far that is from necessary.

Edit on the lower toolbar. To see earlier versions, click More, then check Raw text format and click View revision. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with TWiki shorthand how far that is from necessary.
