Wookee markup is essentially plain text; just write things down and let Wookee pretty-print them for you.
Paragraphs, Sections, Lists and Lines |
A paragraph ends with a line break. This is the next paragraph. Empty lines are ignored. | A paragraph ends with a line break.

Links and Images |
The presentation and functionality of internal links is subject to the wiki engine you are using Wookee with. If you are using Wookee on its own, internal links will probably not work at all. |
Internal links to another page | Internal links to [[another page]] |
You can override the link text | You can override the [[Sandbox|link text]] |
Reference-style external links: [1], [2] | Reference-style external links:
[[http://example.org]], [[http://example.net]] |
A named external link | A named [[http://example.org|external link]] |
External links can also be marked up with single brackets, but this syntax is only maintained for backwards compatibility and its use is highly discouraged. |
URLs and email addresses are made clickable: http://example.org (contact webmaster@example.org) | URLs and email addresses are made clickable: \\
http://example.org (contact webmaster@example.org) |
A link ending in a (recognized) image file name extension (.png, .jpg, .gif) renders the linked image inline. You can use that feature along with your wiki engine's file uploader to embed images in your pages. |

Interwiki links |
Interwiki links are shortcuts | [[Root:static/intermap|Interwiki]] links are shortcuts |
Root: is for links on this site | '''Root:''' is for links on this [[Root:blobs|site]] |
http or https fails | [[http:/blobs|http]] or [[https:/blobs|https]] fails |
RFC: is nice for RFCs | '''RFC:''' is nice for [[RFC:4408|RFCs]] |
Action: is a shortcut for actions | '''Action:''' is a shortcut for [[Action:index|actions]] |
