This page aims to introduce the most important elements of MoinMoin's syntax at a glance, showing first the markup verbatim and then how it is rendered by the wiki engine. Additionally, you'll find links to the relative help pages. Please note that some of the features depend on your configuration.

This is wiki markup in a div with css class="red solid".

see: HelpOnAdmonitions Don't overuse admonitions Admonitions should be used with care. A page riddled with admonitions will look restless and will be harder to follow than a page where admonitions are used sparingly.

see: HelpOnComments Click on "Comments" in edit bar to toggle the comments visibility. This is a wiki parser section with class "comment dotted" (see HelpOnParsers). Its visibility gets toggled the same way.
