# Welcome+
−
+
−
Welcome to your wiki! This is the default page we've installed for your convenience. Go ahead and edit it.+

## Wiki features+
−
+
−
This wiki uses the [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) syntax. The [MarkDownDemo tutorial](https://bitbucket.org/tutorials/markdowndemo) shows how various elements are rendered. The [Bitbucket documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/FA4zDQ) has more information about using a wiki.+
−
+
−
The wiki itself is actually a mercurial repository, which means you can clone it, edit it locally/offline, add images or any other file type, and push it back to us. It will be live immediately.+
−
+
−
Go ahead and try:+
−
+
−
```+
−
$ hg clone https://JeanDo@bitbucket.org/JeanDo/ostc4/wiki+
−
```+
−
+
−
Wiki pages are normal files, with the .md extension. You can edit them locally, as well as creating new ones.+

+
−
## Syntax highlighting+
−
+
−
+
−
You can also highlight snippets of text (we use the excellent [Pygments][] library).+
−
+
−
[Pygments]: http://pygments.org/+
−
+
−
+
−
Here's an example of some Python code:+
−
+
−
```+
−
#!python+
−
+
−
def wiki_rocks(text):+
−
    formatter = lambda t: "funky"+t+
−
    return formatter(text)+
−
```+
−
+
−
+
−
You can check out the source of this page to see how that's done, and make sure to bookmark [the vast library of Pygment lexers][lexers], we accept the 'short name' or the 'mimetype' of anything in there.+
