+[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)
+is a minimal markup language that resembles plain text as used in
+email messages. It is the markup language used by this wiki by default.
+
+For documentation about the markdown syntax, see [[HelpOnFormatting]] and
+[Markdown: syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax).
+
+Note that [[WikiLink]]s and [[PreProcessorDirective]]s are not part of the
+markdown syntax, and are the only bit of markup that this wiki handles
+internally.
