** More asterisks give deeper

* Line breaks don't break levels.

Any other start ends the list.

|Mixture of different types of list

# one
# two
#* two point one
#* two point two
# three
#; three item one
#: three def one
# four
#: four def one
#: this looks like a continuation
#: and is often used
#: instead of <nowiki> </nowiki>
# five
## five sub 1
### five sub 1 sub 1
## five sub 2
The usage of #: and *: for breaking a line within an item may also harm accessibility.

Preformatted text
Start each line with a space.
Text is '''preformatted''' and
''markups'' '''''can''''' be done.
This way of preformatting only applies to section formatting. Character formatting markups are still effective.
Start each line with a space.
Text is preformatted and
markups can be done.
Preformatted text blocks
<nowiki>Start with a space in the first column,
(before the <nowiki>).

Then your block format will be
maintained.

This is good for copying in code blocks:

def function():
"""documentation string"""

if True:
print True
else:
print False</nowiki>
Start with a space in the first column,
(before the <nowiki>).
