+===Bold, italic, and fixed-width text===
+To mark text as <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> or <code>fixed-width</code>, you can use the HTML <nowiki><b></nowiki>, <nowiki><i></nowiki> and code tags. For example:
+ <nowiki><b> bold </b></nowiki>,
+ <nowiki><i> italic </i></nowiki>,
+ <nowiki><b> <i> bold+italic </i> </b></nowiki>.
+Note that MediaWiki (like most Wikis) processes pages line-by-line, so if you want three bold lines of text, you will need to use three separate <nowiki><b>...</b></nowiki> tags.  Also note that unclosed or unmatched tags are not removed from the page.
+MediaWiki also implements the old "quote style" of text formatting, which is used on several wikis.  Briefly:
+<pre>
+''Two single quotes are italics'',
+'''three single quotes are bold''',
+'''''five single quotes are bold and italic.'''''
+</pre>
+looks like:
+''Two single quotes are italics'',
+'''three single quotes are bold''',
+'''''five single quotes are bold and italic.'''''
+===Headings===
+Headings are delimited by 1-6 equal signs (=). They basically correspond to HTML's &lt;h1> through &lt;h6> tags.
+<pre>= Headline size 1 =
+== Headline size 2 ==
+=== Headline size 3 ===
+==== Headline size 4 ====
+===== Headline size 5 =====
+====== Headline size 6 ======</pre>
+===Lists===
+Simple lists:
+<pre>
+* Text for a bulleted list item.
+** Text for second-level list.
+*** Text for third level, etc.
+</pre>
+...which looks like:
+* Text for a bulleted list item.
+** Text for second-level list.
+*** Text for third level, etc.
+Numbered lists:
+<pre>
+# Text for a numbered list item.
+## Text for second-level list.
+### Text for third level, etc.
+## Another Text for the second level.
+</pre>
+...which looks like:
+# Text for a numbered list item.
+## Text for second-level list.
+### Text for third level, etc.
+## Another Text for the second level.
+===Indented text===
+Simple indented text:
+<pre>
+: Text to be indented (quote-block)
+:: Text indented more
+::: Text indented to third level
+</pre>
+...which looks like:
+: Text to be indented (quote-block)
+:: Text indented more
+::: Text indented to third level
+===Preformatted text===
+Individual lines can be displayed as preformatted (fixed-width or "typewriter"-font) text by placing one or more spaces at the start of the line.  Other wiki formatting (like links) will be applied to this kind of preformatted text.
+<nowiki>Additionally, multi-line sections can be marked as pre-formatted text using lines starting with <pre> (to start pre-formatted text), and </pre> (to end preformatted text).  The <pre> and </pre> tags are not displayed.  Wiki links and other formatting is not done within a preformatted section.  (If you want wiki formatting, use spaces at the start of the line instead of the <pre> and </pre> tags.)</nowiki>
+For instance:
+<pre>
+Pre-formatted section here.  No other link
+  or format processing
+is done on pre-formatted sections.
+For instance, [[Gazelle]] is not a link here.
+</pre>
+and:
+   This is the starting-spaces version of
+   preformatted text.  Note that links like
+   [[Gazelle]] still work.
