To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:
-
An asterisk "*" at the start of each line indicates an item in a bullet list:
+
-
* One item
+
-
* and another one
+
-
 
+
-
Create a numbered list by adding a hash sign "#" at the start of the line:
+
-
 
+
-
# First item
+
-
# Second item
+
-
# Third item
+
-

=== Code ===

-
To make clear text is meant as code or computer in/output use <nowiki><pre></nowiki> and <nowiki></pre></nowiki> tags to surround the text:
+
-
 
+
-
<nowiki><pre>this is preformatted text</pre></nowiki>
+
-
 
+
-
produces
+
-
 
+
-
<pre>this is preformatted text</pre>

-
Alternatively, just prepend a space at the beginning of the line:
+
  <- here is a space at the beginning of the line.
  <- here is a space at the beginning of the line.
-
For code that appears in the middle of a sentence, use <nowiki><code></nowiki> and <nowiki></code></nowiki> tags for formatting.
