-* TWiki has a very simple **[[TWikiShorthand]]**. In any case, you won't go wrong if you simply:
- * start each line without spaces
- * separate paragraphs with a blank line
-
-* Run together capitalized words to form **[[WikiWords]]:**
- * [[WikiWords]] automatically appear as hyperlinks
- * make up meaningful, reasonably brief Wiki names - it can be a challenge (it'll sharpen you up!)
- * [[WikiWords]] has name-creation tips that may help
-
-* If a **discussion** is going on:
- * separate each follow-up with a space
- * add your [[WikiName]] and the date at the end
- * OR, by all means, insert your comment where it seems to fit best:
- * you may want to insert it with a bullet and/or _set it in italics_ so it's clear (always sign and date)
- * if a sub-topic develops, separate it with a horizontal rule at beginning and end
-
-* A good format for a **new topic** is "dissertation followed by discussion":
- * start with a brief, factual introduction, followed by double horizontal rules
- * let the discussion begin
-
-* When a discussion dies down and the page becomes static, if you're clear on your course, feel free to **refactor mercilessly**:
- * fearlessly edit down to capture the key points
- * reduce the noise without losing the facts or the flavor
- * if you merge or delete comments, group credit `Contributors:` at the end of the page
- * _This is how Wiki content matures and grows in value over time._
-
-* For **external site links**, you can type URLs directly into the text - `http://etcete.ra/...` - it'll clear to anyone where they're headed on click.
-
-* TWiki is intended for world-wide use, and an international **standard date format** like 01 Sep 2001 is preferred. It's universally understood, and clearer than the xx/xx/xx format, where a date like 9/1/01 can mean either Jan or Sep, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,...
-
-* **TIP:** Check the source when you want to find out how something is formatted: click <code>**Edit**</code> on the lower toolbar. To see earlier versions, click <code>**More**</code>, then check <code>**Raw text format**</code> and click <code>**View revision**</code>. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with [[TWikiShorthand]] how far that is from necessary.
