Structured text conventions convert simple typing into reasonably formatted web pages. The basic conventions are:

• start each paragraph by indenting one space
• leave a blank line between paragraphs

Italic words, underlined words, and bold words can be signaled as follows :

  *Italics words*, _underlined_ _words_, and **bold words**

A sequence of one line paragraphs, indented, but each starting with a digit or an asterisk, eg, "1 line one, 1 line two, * line with asterisk," is assumed to be a list. The digits will be replaced by the correct numbers.

1. line one
2. line two

• line with an asterisk

URL links to other pages, such as "structured text conventions" at top are typed as follows :

  "Structured text conventions":http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/structured-text-cheatsheet

Within a Wiki folder, a link to a nearby page, eg, Plone, the Help Wiki page about Plone web site software, can be generated by simply by typing " [Plone] ". If such a link is typed before the page has been created, a ? will appear, eg, Plone?, signaling a link to an empty page. Selecting the ? will activate a form to allow you to type-in the missing page.

Wiki structured text also assumes words with mixed UpperAndLowercase refer to nearby Wiki pages. Place an exclamation point infront of such a word, eg, " !UpperAndLowercase " to keep it from being interpreted as a link.
