+Hier gibt es eine [[Zusammenfassung der Wikibefehle auf deutsch|Howtos/Anleitung Wiki-Formatierung]].
+
+Text on this wiki is, by default, written in a form very close to how you
+might write text for an email message. This style of text formatting is
+called [[MarkDown]], and it works like this:
+
+Leave blank lines between paragraphs.
+
+You can *\*emphasise\** or **\*\*strongly emphasise\*\*** text by placing it
+in single or double asterisks.
+
+To create a list, start each line with an asterisk:
+
+* "* this is my list"
+* "* another item"
+
+To make a numbered list, start each line with a number (any number will
+do) followed by a period:
+
+1. "1. first line"
+2. "2. second line"
+2. "2. third line"
+
+To create a header, start a line with one or more `#` characters followed
+by a space and the header text. The number of `#` characters controls the
+size of the header:
+
+# # h1
+## ## h2
+### ### h3
+#### #### h4
+##### ##### h5
+###### ###### h6
+
+To create a horizontal rule, just write three or more dashes or stars on
+their own line:
+
+----
+
+To quote someone, prefix the quote with ">":
+
+> To be or not to be,
+> that is the question.
+
+To write a code block, indent each line with a tab or 4 spaces:
+
+ 10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
+ 20 GOTO 10
+
+To link to an url or email address, you can just put the
+url in angle brackets: <<http://ikiwiki.info>>, or you can use the
+form \[link text\]\(url\)
+
+----
+
+In addition to basic html formatting using [[MarkDown]], this wiki lets
+you use the following additional features:
+
+* To link to another page on the wiki, place the page's name inside double
+ square brackets. So you would use `\[[WikiLink]]` to link to [[WikiLink]].
+
+[[!if test="enabled(smiley) and smileys" then="""
+* Insert [[smileys]] and some other useful symbols. :-)
+"""]]
+
+[[!if test="enabled(shortcut) and shortcuts" then="""
+* Use [[shortcuts]] to link to common resources.
+
+ \[[!wikipedia War\_of\_1812]]
+"""]]
+
+[[!if test="enabled(template) and templates" then="""
+* Create and fill out [[templates]] for repeated chunks of
+ parameterized wiki text.
+"""]]
+
+* Insert various [[directives|directive]] onto a page to perform useful
+ actions.
+[[!if test="enabled(toc) or enabled(meta) or enabled(inline)" then="""
+ For example, you can:
+"""]]
+
+[[!if test="enabled(toc)" then="""
+ * Add a table of contents to a page:
+
+ \[[!toc]]
+"""]]
+
+
+[[!if test="enabled(meta)" then="""
+ * Change the title of a page:
+
+ \[[!meta title="full page title"]]
+"""]]
+
+[[!if test="enabled(inline)" then="""
+ * Create a blog by inlining a set of pages:
+
+ \[[!inline pages="blog/*"]]
+"""]]
+
+[[!if test="enabled(listdirectives)" then="""
+ Full list of [[directives|directive]] enabled for this wiki:
+ [[!listdirectives ]]
