| `{{code}}` | Inline code | `` `code` `` |
| `{code:java}...{code}` | Code block | ``` ```java ``` |
| `[text\|url]` | Link | `[text](url)` |

```

### Validation Checklist

- [ ] Bold: `*text*` (single asterisk)
- [ ] Code blocks: `{code:language}...{code}`
- [ ] Lists: `*` for bullets, `#` for numbers
- [ ] Links: `[label|url]` or `[PROJ-123]`
- [ ] Tables: `||Header||` and `|Cell|`
- [ ] Colors: `{color:red}text{color}`

### Common Mistakes

| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct |
|---------|-----------|
| `## Heading` | `h2. Heading` |
| `**bold**` | `*bold*` |
| `` `code` `` | `{{code}}` |
| `[text](url)` | `[text\|url]` |
| `- bullet` | `* bullet` |
| `h2.Title` | `h2. Title` |
