## <a name="Default_TWiki_Plugin"> Default TWiki Plugin </a>

The default plugin is used for some depreciated rendering of older TWiki versions and of JosWiki. This plugin can also be used to specify some simple custom rendering rules. **_Note:_** Create a new [[TWIKIWEBTWikiPlugins]] based on [[EmptyPlugin]] if you plan to offer some complex rendering or other functionality.

### <a name="Syntax_Rules"> Syntax Rules </a>

Custom rendering rules of the default plugin:

* Allow old include syntax ( <code>**%INCLUDE:"TopicName"%**</code> ) if Plugin Preferences variable <code>**OLDINCLUDE**</code> is set to <code>**1**</code>
* Render depreciated <code>**\*\_text\_\***</code> as **_bold italic_** text. Test if installed: **\_This is bold italic\_**
* Enable JosWiki rules if JosWiki specific code is uncommented

Modify file <code>**TWiki/Plugins/DefaultPlugin.pm**</code> to add your own rules or to enable JosWiki rules.

### <a name="_TOPIC_Preferences"> %TOPIC% Preferences </a>
