a link:

	[link text](http://yoursite.com/ "title")

	[link text no title](http://anothersite.com/)

	<[email protected]> will obfuscate your link a bit

an image:

	![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "optional title")

	![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)

emphasis:

	*hello* or _hello_ produces italicized [em] text

	**hello** or __hello__ produces bold [strong] text

	\*how to surround text with actual asterisks\*
