-* URLs ending with .png, .gif, or .jpg are inlined if in square brackets, by themselves: [http://phpwiki.sourceforge .net/phpwiki/images/png .png]

+  
+ _this  
+  
+ will not work_  
+  
+!!! References  
+  
+* Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the  
+ page name in square brackets: [this is a page link] or

+* You can suppress linking to old-style references and URIs by  
+ preceding the word with a '<tt>~~</tt>', e.g. ~NotLinkedAsWikiName,  
+ ~http://not.linked.to/  
+* Also, the old way of linking URL's is still supported: precede URLs  
+ with "<tt>http:</tt>", "<tt>ftp:</tt>" or "<tt>mailto:</tt>" to

+ "foo".  
+ * <tt>~#~[|foo]</tt>: An empty anchor with id "foo".  
+ * <tt>~#~[howdy|foo]</tt>: An anchor around the text "howdy" with  
+ id "foo".  
+ * References to name anchors are made thusly:%%%  
+ <tt>~[~#[#hyperlinks]]</tt>, <tt>~[~OtherPage#foo]</tt>,  
+ <tt>~[named|~OtherPage#foo]</tt>.  
+  
+  
+!!! Tables  
+  
+* Definition list style tables are written just like definition lists,  
+ except that you replace the trailing colon on the term with a "pipe"  
+ (<tt>|</tt>).  
+  
+ <pre>  
+ Term 1 |  
+ Definition 1 begins here.  
+ Term 1.1 |  
+ Definition 1.1  
+ Term 1.2 |  
+ Definition 1.2

 * The & characters will not work 
+  
+!!! Creating various kinds of special links  
+  
+* See [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for gory details on how to write various kind  
+ of wiki maintenance and other special links.  
+  
+!!! Inserting plugins  
+  
+* Several plugins permit embedding additional functionality to Wiki  
+ pages. For example,  
+ <verbatim>  
+ <?plugin BackLinks page=HomePage info=hits ?>  
+ </verbatim>  
+ gives  
+ <?plugin BackLinks page=HomePage info=hits ?>  
+  
+* For more information on plugins, see WikiPlugin.
