Here is a paragraph of text, with emphasized and strong text, together with an inline code snippet. Did you know that E=mc², and L₂ spaces are cool? Of course, if you want to include _ special * characters ^ you ~ can % do that, too.

You can make Wiki Links just like that, as well as links to external sites: http://sbcl.sourceforge.net. Custom link text can be used with both types of links.

Images can be embedded in the text along side alt-text:

Unordered lists:

• a list
• with three
• items

Ordered lists:

1. a list
2. with three
3. numbered items

You cannot yet nest lists.

Horizontal lines:

Tables:

Here is some code:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

There is syntax highlighting for various languages, too:

PEG: parse-request-line ( string -- triple )
    #! Triple is { method url version }
    [ 
        'space' ,
        'http-method' ,
        'space' ,
        'url' ,
        'space' ,
        'http-version' ,
        'space' ,
    ] seq* just ;

Some Java:

/**
 * Returns the extension of the specified filename, or an empty
 * string if there is none.
 * @param path The path
 */
public static String getFileExtension(String path)
{
    int fsIndex = getLastSeparatorIndex(path);
    int index = path.lastIndexOf('.');
    // there could be a dot in the path and no file extension
    if(index == -1 || index < fsIndex )
        return "";
    else
        return path.substring(index);
}
