Links

Phrases which start with InitialCapitalLetters are automatically turned into links. However, single [prints] words and those which are all capitals (like GNU) are not converted. To turn these into links, add double square brackets around them like this one

External links can be made using single square brackets. e.g. [http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html Hurd Homepage]

Headings

To turn a word into a

===heading===

or

====subheading====

, surround it with equals signs, with a space in between the equals signs and the word. More equals signs makes for a smaller heading.
