Adding text

Start typing in the first column; don't leave spaces at the left margin, unless for some reason you want it to look...

... like this. It looks ugly but can be useful e.g. for commands that have to be re-typed exactly.

Leave an empty line between paragraphs. Without this, the Wiki software will flow your text continuously.

The following table shows how to do other formatting.
