Editing a page is as simple as clicking on the "Edit" icon at the top of the screen. There are, however, many possible options for making the page look pretty. For your convenience, we have made a formatting toolbar, which works very much like a toolbar in a word processor. It's at the top right of the edit page.

By highlighting text and clicking one of the buttons, such as Bold, the text will be surrounded by the appropriate wiki markup to make it appear bold. In addition there are buttons for inserting images, links etc.

Detailed information on how to deal with specific things (for example images) can be found by following the links at the bottom of this page, but it really is all very easy.

In general, just looking at how existing pages do things (by clicking on Edit and looking at the "raw" content) should let you figure out the markup — which is very simple! (Always make sure you "Preview" before you "Save Changes", which saves a great deal of hassle and is less frustrating.)

If you want to make a minor change, all you need to do is double-click a section of text to edit that section. Click "Edit", and a small "Quick Edit" box will magically appear in the middle of the text.

To practice editing wiki content, please use the wiki sandbox.

The following pages (provided by Wiki Spot) describe the wiki markup (code) you can use to get special formatting effects:
