+====== The Trac Wiki Engine ======
+[[:[TracGuideToc]]]
+Trac has a built-in wiki engine, used for text and documentation throughout the system. WikiFormatting is used in [[:TitleIndex|wiki pages]], [[:TracTickets|tickets]] and [[:TracChangeset|check-in log messages]].  This allows for formatted text and hyperlinks in and between all Trac modules.
+Editing wiki text is easy, using any web browser and a simple [[WikiFormatting|formatting system]], rather than more complex markup languages like HTML.  The reasoning behind its design is that HTML, with its large collection of nestable tags, is too complicated to allow fast-paced editing, and distracts from the actual content of the pages. Note though that Trac also supports [[WikiHtml|HTML]], [[WikiRestructuredText|reStructuredText]] and [[http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/|Textile]] as alternative markup formats.
+The main goal of the wiki is to make editing text easier and //encourage// people to contribute and annotate text content for a project.
+The wiki itself does not enforce any structure, but rather resembles a stack of empty sheets of paper, where you can organize information and documentation as you see fit, and later reorganize if necessary.
