Unordered lists begin with a '* '. The number of asterisks determines the level:

  • foo
  • bar
    • boom
    • bam
  • baz
* foo
* bar
** boom
** bam
* baz

Ordered lists begin with a '0 ' (zero): 0 foo 0 bar 00 boom 00 bam 0 baz 

0 foo
0 bar
00 boom
00 bam
0 baz

You can mix lists too:

  • Today:
    1. Eat icecream
    2. Buy a pony
  • Tommorrow:
    1. Eat more icecream
    2. Buy another pony
* Today:
00 Eat icecream
00 Buy a pony
* Tommorrow:
00 Eat more icecream
00 Buy another pony

Any text that does not begin in the first column is rendered as preformatted text. 

foo   bar
 x     y
 1     2

You can comment out wiki-text with '# ' at the beginning of a line. This will make the text an html comment: 

# These lines have been 
# commented out

Simple Tables:

Dick Jane
height 72" 65"
weight 130lbs 150lbs 
|        | Dick   | Jane |
| height | 72"    | 65"  |
| weight | 130lbs | 150lbs |

Tables with multiline or complex data:

<<END <<END

This data has vertical | bars | END

sub foo { 

print "I want a kwiki!\n"

} END

foo <<MSG

As you can see we use the Perl heredoc syntax. MSG 

| <<END | <<END |
This data has vertical | bars |
END
# This is some Perl code:
sub foo {
    print "I want a kwiki!\n"
}
END
| foo | <<MSG |
As you can see we use
the Perl heredoc syntax.
