More formatting rules

[string]
A string placed within square brackets is interpreted as a citation which can be associated with a URL. The string "Search" is a special case which produces a search form instead of a citation.

<TAB> * <SPACE> string
This sequence produces a bulleted point. All of the text of the point must appear on the same line.

<TAB> 1. <SPACE> string
This sequence produces an ordered list. Groups of these lines will be numbered sequentially. Again, all of the text must appear on the same line.

<TAB> title <SPACE> - <SPACE> definition
This sequence produces a definition list with the specified title and definition. All of the definition must appear on the same line.

These last three rules can be further indented by increasing the number of leading tab characters. Each extra tab will indent the text by one more level.

Some browsers make it difficult to enter TAB characters. For this reason there are alternative formatting rules which can be used.
