JAMWiki utilizes the same syntax as Mediawiki, and you can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like ''this''

# one
# two
#* two point one
#* two point two
# three
#; three item one
#: three def one
# four
#: four def one

#: and thus often used instead of <br />
# five
## five sub 1
### five sub 1 sub 1
## five sub 2
;item 1
:* definition 1-1
:* definition 1-2
:
;item 2
:# definition 2-1
:# definition 2-2

preformatted text is done with
a '''space''' at the
''beginning'' of the line
This way of preformatting only applies to section formatting, and character formatting markups are still effective.
