Hyperlinks
- You can prevent a bad WikiWord being formed or show a plural form with square brackets:

- To give a nicer title to a hyperlink
- Surround with square brackets and separate with the pipe character ( | )
- [Taekwondo | http://www.atamadison.com]
- Taekwondo
- Surround with square brackets and use quotes around the title
- WikiWords can be given a different name the same way
- To prevent a WikiLikeWord, http://type.address, or anything inside [square brackets] from becoming a hyperlink, then prepend with an exclamation mark or a tilde:
- !NoHyperLink, ~NoHyperLink
- ![no hyperlink], !http://nolink.org/
Pictures
