Paragraphs and Line Breaks

Start a new paragraph by
leaving a blank line

This is a new paragraph.

A line break\\
Note this is not the same
as a new paragraph<br>
There is three ways to
create a line break<br/>
That's all of them.

Horizontal Line
----
Use sparingly, as you should
use headings to break up a
page.

Links

The examples below link to a page called "nowhere", which doesn't exist, and to a page called "sandbox", which does exist.

A link to [nowhere],
 and a link to the [sandbox]

Change the name,
but still link [there|nowhere].
Go [play|sandbox].

Tables

All of these have to be at the beginning of a line, but you can squash serval table cells together on one line.

A cell can span multiple lines, however, paragraphs are not created within table cells, so leaving a blank line does not cause a gap. If you do want paragraphs within a table cell, place a block within the cell using {{[ your-text-here ]}}

{|
|| Hello
|| World
|-
| abc
| 123
|}

Tables, table rows and table cells can have attributes.
