The "pre" command preseves formatting and types in a block (very nice for computer code)
You can do the same by using a leading space

About line breaks

Merely pressing enter does not make line breaks.

Adding the
break command
does.


Double enter

makes paragraph

breaks.


About links

Internal links
Code:

[[Some Wiki Page|My page]]

My page  : Links to the wiki page "Some Wiki Page" and displays "My page" as the link. If the text after the pipe (|) is ommited, then the page name e.g. "Some Wiki Page" will display as the link.

External links
Code:

[http://www.google.com Google]

Results in:
Google  : Links to the external site "http://www.google.com" and displays "Google" as the link. Text after the URL (separated by a space) is handled as plain text for the link. Simply typing an URL e.g. http://www.google.com will shown the full URL as a link.
