What is the "Wiki Syntax"?

Wiki syntax (also known as Wiki markup, Wiki language, Wiki text) is a markup language as a simple alternative to HTML code that allows quick content creation. There is no common Wiki syntax but each Wiki engine (such as MediaWiki (Wikipedia), MoinMoin, TWiki and others) have their own specific syntax. In our (Wikidot) syntax e.g. to create link to a different website you simply write [http://www.example.com visit this!] instead of HTML:

<a href="http://www.example.com">visit this!</a>
