Cautions about differences from MediaWiki markup syntax

At first glance, DokuWiki markup looks rather like MediaWiki markup, but while it has the same markup flavor, it is actually deceptively different in the details.

  1. Headings defined by equal signs (like "=== Heading ===") CANNOT contain anything but text. Especially, NO links are allowed in Headings. More info is here: https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:headerlinks
  2. The list item characters are '*' for unordered. '-' for ordered (NOT '#'). They MUST be indented by 2 spaces, they do NOT work at the left margin. For each further list indent, add 2 more spaces, NOT another '*' or '-'.
  3. More '='s makes BIGGER headline text, not smaller. I use 4, 5, and 6 '='s as small, medium, and large (top of page) headings.
  4. An empty line is a paragraph separator. To force just a new line, use '\\' at the end of a line, or '\\ ' in the middle of a line.
  5. To prevent characters from being interpreted as markup, bracket them with '%%'.
