  ==== Document IDs ====
  Document IDs don't have restrictions on what characters can be used. Although it should work, it is recommended to use non-special characters for document IDs. Using special characters you have to be aware of proper URL en-/decoding. Documents prefixed with ''_'' are special documents:
- 
- ||'''Document ID prefix'''||'''Description'''||
+ ||'''Document ID prefix''' ||'''Description''' ||
- ||''_design/''|| are [[DesignDocuments]] ||
+ ||''_design/'' ||are DesignDocuments ||
- ||''_local/''|| are not being replicated (local documents) and used for [[Replication||replication]] checkpointing. ||
+ ||''_local/'' ||are not being replicated (local documents) and used for [[Replication]] checkpointing. ||
+ 
+ 
+ 
  
  You can have '''/''' as part of the document ID but if you refer to a document in a URL you must always encode it as '''%2F'''. One special case is '''_design/''' documents, those accept either '''/''' or '''%2F''' for the '''/''' after ''_design'', although '''/''' is preferred and '''%2F''' is still needed for the rest of the DocID.
