To edit a page click on the edit tab located at the top of the page.
There are a few simple tricks that allow you to format your text in a wiki:
- You need a full carriage return to start a new paragraph. Alternately you can type a ";" at the beginning of a line.
- By surrounding text by certain characters you can change formatting, for example:
- <nowiki>The character ' changes font such that makes the enclosed text italic, and ' makes the enclosed text bold.
