The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

[[toc]]
Wikis should be easy to edit, so the most text you add or change will appear as you expect it. 
But you can do more if you want.

== Using links ==
What you always have dreamed of (for your paper notes) - in a wiki it becomes true: fast links!

If you enclose a word in double brackets (like {{``[[word]]``}}), you get a link, hopefully to an already existing page - if not, you just created the opportunity fo your co-authors do add the detais. If you want a text differing from the link target, you can place it after a pipe symbol {{``[[word|different text]]``}}. The same syntax can be used for external links like {{``[[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]]``}} for a link to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]].

== Page layout ==
=== Emphasis ===
Some typographic markup can easy be added by including the phrase in doubled * (asterisk) or / (slash) chars:
* //italic// using {{``//italic//``}}
* **bold** using {{``**bold**``}}
* **//bold italic//** using {{``**//bold italic//**``}} 
* or //**italic bold**// using {{``//**italic bold**//``}}

=== Lists ===
You can create bulleted lists by one or more * (asterisk) chars at the beginning of the line:
* first level
** second level
** second level
* first level

You can create numbered lists by one or more # (number sign) at the beginning of the line:
# first level
## second level
## second level
# first level

...and you can of course mix both, if you know what you're doing ;)
# first level
** second level
## second level
* first level


=== Tables ===
You can add tables with doubled | (pipe) chars:

||~ what you want for the cell ||~ what you do to get it ||
|| left aligned text || nothing to do ||
||= centered text || equals sign (=) immediately after the opening double pipe ||
||> right aligned || greater-than sign (>) immediately after the opening double pipe ||
||~ headline style || title (~) immediately after the opening double pipe ||

=== Maths formulas ===
...can be used [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula|like in the Wikipedia]] but the enclosing tags ({{``[[math]]``}} - the same for begin and end) differ. Take care: using the math tags you'll break paragraphs.

[[math]]
V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
[[math]]

=== Table of contents ===
Place {{``[[toc]]``}} on top of the page, or - ifyou prefer flat tocs - use {{``[[toc|flat]]``}} 

== Social aspects ==
In wikispaces wikis, you can use tags and discussions.
If you want to discuss the wiki itself, do it on the page [[wikifuture]].

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

You can look at the [[http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/tag/list|tist of used tags]] or link to particular tags using the prefix [[nowiki:http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/tag/view/]]

=== Discussion ===
Discussion pages are provided to each content page. Sadly you have not preview function in this wiki, but if you made something fully wrong, you can delete your post. Please keep in mind, that the email notification to people, monitoring the topic or wiki, cannot be taken back! 
Sometimes you will wait infinitely on a reply because nobody monitors the page or topic. In this case you should find out who is familiar with the topic at best and ask him directly. You can check the history of pages for its authors. Another opportunity is to ask questions on further media, examples are listed on the page [[GeneralDiscussion]].
