 Wiki markup is a core feature in Trac, tightly integrating all the other parts of Trac into a flexible and powerful whole.
 
-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,
-especially [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] and [trac:WikiCreole].

 This page will give you an in-depth explanation of the wiki markup available anywhere WikiFormatting is allowed.
 
-The ''Cheat sheet'' below gives you a quick overview for the most common syntax, each link in the ''Category'' column will lead you to the more detailed explanation later in this page.

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