    45Wiki markup is a core feature in Trac, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.
    56
    6 Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis,
    7 especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].

    1413A few other wiki pages present the advanced features of the Trac wiki markup in more depth:
    15  - TracLinks covers all the possible ways to refer precisely to any Trac resource or parts thereof,
    16  - WikiPageNames talks about the various names a wiki page can take, CamelCase or not
    17  - WikiMacros lists the macros available for generating dynamic content,
    18  - WikiProcessors and WikiHtml details how parts of the wiki text can be processed in special ways

    283283}}}
    284284
     
    287287 * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
    288288 * all the font styles marks have to be used in opening/closing pairs,
    289    and they must nest properly (in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired
    290    with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`)
    291 
    292 
    293 == Headings ==
    294 
    295 You can create heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters ("=")

    644 certainly looks familiar as it's the one used on Wikipedia and in many
    645 other wikis. Unfortunately it conflicts with the syntax for [#Macros macros].
    646 So in the rare case when you need to refer to a page which is named after
    647 a macro (typical examples being TitleIndex, InterTrac and InterWiki),
    648 by writing `[[TitleIndex]]` you will actually call the macro instead of linking
    649 to the page.
