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:

  1. You need a full carriage return to start a new paragraph. Alternately you can type a ";" at the beginning of a line.
  2. By surrounding text by certain characters you can change formatting, for example:
    1. <nowiki>The character ' changes font such that makes the enclosed text italic, and ' makes the enclosed text bold.


You may also wish to open for editing a well formatted page to see how a previous author has done the job.
