MoinMoin does not simply use HTML (the HyperText Markup Language usually used for websites), but its own, simplified MoinMoin Wiki Markup Language, MoinMoin's convention for the input of content1.
HTML
<h1>Headline</h1> <p>This is a link to my own homepage: <a href="/FirstnameLastname">FirstnameLastname</a></p> <p>A list: <ul> <li>foo</li> <li>bar</li> </ul> </p>
MoinMoin wiki
= Headline = This is a link to my own homepage: FirstnameLastname A list: * foo * bar
The MoinMoin wiki markup will be explained in more detail on the following pages.
