[3][4] Creole was designed by comparing major wiki engines and using the most common markup for a particular wikitext element.
If no commonality was found, the wikitext of the dominant wiki engine MediaWiki was usually chosen.
On July 4, 2007, the version 1.0 (final)[5] of Creole was released, and a two-year development freeze was implemented to allow time for authors of wiki engines to adopt the new markup.
Emphasized text: Lists: Links: Headings: (closing equals signs are optional) Linebreaks: Horizontal Line: Images: Tables: No markup: Creole 1.0 is the default syntax in Bitbucket wikis, which also support some Creole 1.0 additions.
[6] Creole 1.0 is one of the available markup languages for the online educational platform Moodle[7] and the UML rendering software PlantUML.
