Formatting rules

<BLANK LINE>
A blank line is interpreted to mean a new paragraph.

'' string ''
Enclosing a string within a pair of two single quotes produces emphasised text, which normally appears as italic on most browsers.

''' string '''
Enclosing a string within a pair of three single quotes produces strong text, which normally appears as bold in most browsers.

----
Four or more hypens produces a horizontal rule.

<SPACE> string
Any text that has been indented with a space is assumed to be preformatted. This can be used for quoting raw ASCII such as source code.

[Search]
This exact string will place a search form into the page. This form is a simple text entry box which is linked to the search mechanism. The user can type a substring and hit return to perform a global search. You should attach an explanatory note to any page where you use this feature to remind your readers that this is a search form.
