<h4>Original HTML content:</h4>

&lt;br /&gt;

This wiki is in &lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://wikiindex.org/Category:OpenEdit" rel="nofollow"&gt;open-edit mode&lt;/a&gt; (except during phases of spam or vandalism). If you want your name (or nick) to appear in the histories, you should create a Wikispaces account and join this wiki. (see &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/How%20to%20Get%20Your%20Xenwiki%20Account"&gt;How to Get Your Xenwiki Account&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

  What you always have dreamed of (for your paper notes) - in a wiki it becomes true: fast links!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

If you enclose a word in double brackets (like &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:00:``[[word]]`` --&gt;[[word]]&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:00 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;), you get a link, hopefully to an already existing page - if not, you just created the opportunity for your co-authors to add the details. If you want a text differing from the link target, you can place it after a pipe symbol &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:01:``[[word|different text]]`` --&gt;[[word|different text]]&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:01 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;. The same syntax can be used for external links like &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:02:``[[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]]`` --&gt;[[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]]&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:02 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt; for a link to the &lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org" rel="nofollow"&gt;English Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

  &lt;em&gt;tbd&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The link text should relate to the link target, don't use &amp;quot;here&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Real or &amp;quot;hard&amp;quot; redirects can only be made or edited by administrators of the wiki, and a hard redirect cannot link to a specific section of another article. Therefore, they should only be used in the case of simple misspellings or alternate spellings. The rule is that if anyone might ever want to flesh the redirect out into its own article, it should not be a hard redirect.&lt;br /&gt;

  Some typographic markup can easy be added by including the phrase in doubled * (asterisk) or / (slash) chars:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;italic&lt;/em&gt; using &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:05:``//italic//`` --&gt;//italic//&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:05 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold&lt;/strong&gt; using &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:06:``**bold**`` --&gt;**bold**&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:06 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;bold italic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; using &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:07:``**//bold italic//**`` --&gt;**//bold italic//**&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:07 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;or &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic bold&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using &lt;tt&gt;&lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextRawRule:08:``//**italic bold**//`` --&gt;//**italic bold**//&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextRawRule:08 --&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  You can create bulleted lists by one or more * (asterisk) chars at the beginning of the line:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;first level&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;second level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;second level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;first level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;first level&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;second level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;second level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;first level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

  You can add tables with doubled | (pipe) chars:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

[[math]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;

V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;[[math]]

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

  In Wikispaces wikis, you can use tags and discussions.&lt;br /&gt;

If you want to discuss the wiki itself, do it on the page &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/wikifuture"&gt;wikifuture&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

  Tags all serve different purposes: sometimes they say what something is or the context in which it belongs (&lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/tag/view/edo" rel="nofollow"&gt;edo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/tag/view/interval" rel="nofollow"&gt;interval&lt;/a&gt;). Sometimes they are used for annotation purposes (&lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/tag/view/todo%3Areduce+mathslang" rel="nofollow"&gt;todo:reduce mathslang&lt;/a&gt;), etc. All these forms have in common is that they can combine wiki pages in a way that is independent of their authors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Some tag examples:&lt;br /&gt;

  Discussion pages are provided to each content page. Sadly there is no preview function on this wiki, but if you create something entirely wrong, you can delete your post. Please keep in mind that the email notification to people who are monitoring the topic or wiki cannot be taken back!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Sometimes you will wait forever for a reply because nobody monitors the page or topic. In this case you should find out who is most familiar with the topic and ask that person directly. You can check the history of pages for its authors. Another approach is to ask questions on further media, examples are listed on the page &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/GeneralDiscussion"&gt;GeneralDiscussion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
