Text layout with wiki markup

MoinMoin does not simply use HTML (the HyperText Markup Language usually used for websites), but its own, simplified MoinMoin Wiki Markup Language, MoinMoin's convention for the input of content¹.

HTML

<h1>Headline</h1>
<p>This is a link to my own homepage: <a href="/FirstnameLastname">FirstnameLastname</a></p>
<p>A list:
<ul>
 <li>foo</li>
 <li>bar</li>
</ul>
</p>

MoinMoin wiki

= Headline =
This is a link to my own homepage: FirstnameLastname

A list:
 * foo
 * bar

The MoinMoin wiki markup will be explained in more detail on the following pages.

MoinMoin also supports other markup languages, such as creole, HTML and many others, see HelpOnParsers (1)
