Editing
After you have logged in, select the "edit" tab at the top of the page.
When the "edit" tab is selected, you have the choice to edit the entire page or page sections. Also, you may use wikitext or the WYSIWYG rich text editor.
- Wikitext is like simplified HTML code. If you are not familiar with wikitext you may want to use the rich-text editor. Want to see a user's guide for wikitext?
- Rich-text editor has the look and feel of a word processing or blogging editor. Style, format and other funtions are controlled via buttons on the editor bar.
You may toggle back and forth between the two editors via the wikitext button or the links above the editor interface. When wikitext is active, the wikitext button is highlighted, and the rich-text editor buttons are faded.
Notice the "edit" links on the right side of the page. These links correspond with their adjacdent sections. Selecting one of these links will bring its section to the editor.
If you have any questions about page editing contact your wiki trainer or Darren (2-9830).
