Working in TWiki is as easy as typing in text - exactly like email. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter [[WikiWords]]. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all layed out below - refer back to this page in a pop-up window from the **Edit** screen.

-Variables are names that are enclosed in percent signs `%` that are expanded on the fly.
+Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas. For example, the optional [SpreadSheetPlugin](http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/SpreadSheetPlugin) lets you create a spreadsheet with the same basic notation used in TWiki tables.
-* <code>%TOC%</code> : Automatically generates a table of contents based on headings in a topic - see the top of this page for an example.
-
-* <code>%WEB%</code> : The current web, is **%WEB%**.
-
-* <code>%TOPIC%</code> : The current topic name, is **%TOPIC%**.
-
-* <code>%ATTACHURL%</code> : The attachment URL of the current topic. Example usage: If you attach a file to a topic you can refer to it as <code>**%ATTACHURL%/image.gif**</code> to show the URL of the file or the image in your text.
-
-* <code>%INCLUDE\{"SomeTopic"\}%</code> : Server side include, includes another topic. The current %WIKITOOLNAME% web is the default web. Example: <code>**%INCLUDE\{"%TWIKIWEB%.TWikiWebsTable"\}%**</code>

-TWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the [[TextFormattingFAQ]]:
-
-* **Q:** Text enclosed in angle brackets like `<filename>` is not displayed. How can I show it as it is?
- * **A:** The `'<'` and `'>'` characters have a special meaning in HTML, they define HTML tags. You need to escape them, so write `'&lt;'` instead of `'<'`, and `'&gt;'` instead of `'>'`. <br /> Example: Type `'prog &lt;filename&gt;'` to get `'prog <filename>'`.
-
-* **Q:** Why is the `'&'` character sometimes not displayed?
- * **A:** The `'&'` character has a special meaning in HTML, it starts a so called character entity, ex: `'&copy;'` is the `©` copyright character. You need to escape `'&'` to see it as it is, so write `'&amp;'` instead of `'&'`. <br /> Example: Type `'This &amp; that'` to get `'This & that'`.
