* PortlandPatternRepository -- another page in this repository.
	* PrincetonPatternRefloctory -- a proposed page for this repository.
	* http://c2.com/ppr/ -- a page somewhere else on the web.

There isn't really a ''Princeton Pattern Refloctory.'' That is just a made-up name that shows how this site handles dangling references. (Don't define it, or you will wreck this example.) Read MoreAboutMechanics for details.

I can't type tabs. Please ConvertSpacesToTabs for me when I save.
