-### Fixme
+Markdown is a more modern syntax currently used on github and also the same one used on the discourse mailing list website we're using.

+## New lines
+With markdown by default if you place one line of text directly below another one.
+Then both will be joined together without a newline but with a space such as this paragraph.
+To force a newline add a double space at the end of the line `  `
+This will force the newline at the end of a line within a paragraph
+## Links
+The normal syntax for markdown links is
+```
+[Plugins](.:plugins)
+```
+We can also use the dokuwiki syntax for links as well (which I admit is back to front compared to the above)
+```
+[[Plugins|.:plugins]]
+```
+## Fixme
 One of the inbuilt controls that still works without any code fences is the Fixme label.
 If we write the text `FIXME` in all capitals the end result is FIXME
