=== Text Formatting ===

This wiki understands some basic LaTeX syntax.  For example

  \textit{italic text}
  \textbf{boldface text}

results in \textit{italic text} and \textbf{boldface text}, respectively.
Similar results can be achieved with

  {\itshape italic text}
  {\bfseries boldface text}

resulting in {\itshape italic text} and {\bfseries boldface text}.  These can
be combined as in

  \textbf{{\itshape bold italics}}

resulting in \textbf{{\itshape bold italics}}, but note the need for an extra
set of curly brackets compared with standard LaTeX usage.

=== Typography ===

This Wiki understands the following LaTeX syntax

  `` '' ~ \'e \`e \"o

resulting in: `` '' ~ \'e \`e \"o.  Note that the combination "\ " for a
forced space is not understood; use a tilde instead.  To get an actual tilde
(%%%%~%%%%) enter the following:

   %%%%~%%%%

=== Lists ===

This wiki understands LaTeX list syntax.  For example,

  \begin{enumerate}\item
  numbered list first item
  \item
  numbered list second item
  \begin{itemize}\item
  unnumbered sublist
  \item
  second item
  \end{itemize}
  third item
  \end{enumerate}

results in:

\begin{enumerate}\item
numbered list first item
\item
numbered list second item
\begin{itemize}\item
unnumbered sublist
\item
second item
\end{itemize}
\item
third item
\end{enumerate}

Note however that the first %%%%\item%%%% command in each list should appear
exactly as above, immediately following the \begin{...}  command on the same
line.
