2.0 Text Formatting

New in XWiki Syntax 2.1 over XWiki Syntax 1.0:

Spaces are allowed just after the syntax symbols (for example in XWiki Syntax 1.0, this was not possible: * bold *).

Use double symbols when there was only a single symbol in XWiki Syntax 1.0 so that it's less likely that the user will mistakenly use them in text.

Ability to span several lines (wasn't possible in XWiki Syntax 1.0).

Feature	XWiki Syntax 2.1	Result
Bold	**bold**	bold
Underline	__underline__	underline
Italics	//italic//	italic
Striked out	--strike--	strike
Monospace	##monospace##	monospace
Superscript	some ^^superscript^^	some superscript
Subscript	some ,,subscript,,	some subscript
