Abstract:

A simple example demonstrating how to use some wiki markup syntax in LaTeX, using wiki.sty from the nicetext bundle.

Be careful — not everything works, and some commands may break! See http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/doc/wikicheat.pdf for a cheat sheet.

If you're looking for markdown, check out this example!

Did it ''work''? Apparently '''yes''', though not ''all'' wiki markup is supported. See \url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/doc/wikicheat.pdf} for what's supported.

* Lists!!
* More '''lists'''!!!

No nested lists though.

Normal \LaTeX{} stuff should still work. Just be careful of lists, it seems.


=== I can haz subsections plz? ===

# numbered lists
# remember to turn off using \verb|\nowikimarkup| before going back to serious \LaTeX{} stuff.

One list can't follow another immediately -- need to have some intervening text.

Same here; this text needs to be here for the quote to work.

: This here is a quote.

\nowikimarkup

Back to normal \LaTeX{} behavior now. '''This is still typeset in normal weight.'''
