to mark something as:

Bold use: ''' Bold '''

Italic use: '' Italic ''

Underlined use: <ins> Underlined </ins>

Monospaced use: '' Monospaced ''

To use code text (unformatted) use: <code>

You can use syntax highlighting, like in code editors, using:

<code language>

Example: #include <iostream> int main() { printf("Syntax highlighting"); return 0; }

To force a new-line after your line of text, you do not always need to add an empty line between your new line, because that makes every line into a paragraph. A much simpler way(DokuWiki style) is to use a special character set: two backslashes followed by a space. \\
