+!!! References  
+  
+* Hyperlinks to other pages within the Wiki are made by placing the

+ preceding the word with a '<tt>~~</tt>', e.g. ~NotLinkedAsWikiName,  
+ ~http://not.linked.to/

+ * <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>).

+ Term 1 |  
+ Definition 1 begins here.  
+ Term 1.1 |  
+ Definition 1.1  
+ Term 1.2 |

+  
+!!! 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 ?>
