    45Wiki markup is a core feature in Trac, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.

    6 Trac has a built in small and powerful wiki rendering engine. This wiki engine implements an ever growing subset of the commands from other popular Wikis,
    7 especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].

    1413A few other wiki pages present the advanced features of the Trac wiki markup in more depth:
    15  - TracLinks covers all the possible ways to refer precisely to any Trac resource or parts thereof,
    16  - WikiPageNames talks about the various names a wiki page can take, CamelCase or not
    17  - WikiMacros lists the macros available for generating dynamic content,
    18  - WikiProcessors and WikiHtml details how parts of the wiki text can be processed in special ways

    248246The Trac wiki supports the following font styles:

    289287 * {{{ ! }}} tells wiki parser to not take the following characters as wiki format, so pay attention to put a space after !, e.g. when ending bold.
    290288 * all the font styles marks have to be used in opening/closing pairs,
    291    and they must nest properly (in particular, an `''` italic can't be paired
    292    with a `//` one, and `'''` can't be paired with `**`)
    293 
    294 
    295 == Headings ==
    296 
    297 You can create heading by starting a line with one up to six ''equal'' characters ("=")
    298 followed by a single space and the headline text.

    301 The headline text can be followed by the same number of "=" characters, but this is no longer mandatory.
     297The headline text can be followed by the same number of "=" characters, but this is not mandatory. That is, `=== Section3 ===` is identical to `=== Section3`.
    302298
    303299Finally, the heading might optionally be followed by an explicit id. If not, an implicit but nevertheless readable id will be generated.

    645 '''Note''': the [trac:WikiCreole] style for links is quick to type and
    646 certainly looks familiar as it's the one used on Wikipedia and in many
    647 other wikis. Unfortunately it conflicts with the syntax for [#Macros macros].
    648 So in the rare case when you need to refer to a page which is named after
    649 a macro (typical examples being TitleIndex, InterTrac and InterWiki),
    650 by writing `[[TitleIndex]]` you will actually call the macro instead of linking
    651 to the page.
