How do I use the wiki

As the wiki is made up simply by a collection of articles, then all one has to do is to edit an article. To do this you use the web based editor:

  1. Provided you have the correct authority (i.e. you have logged in), then you can select the 'edit' tab at the top of the page.
  2. Once the edit tab has opened then you can either:
    • start typing directly in the edit box using the simple editor buttons and wiki markup
    • select the 'Rich Editor' link underneath the page title and do the same using the rich editor buttons and wiki markup
  3. When you are ready to view your changes, you can either, preview and then save the page, or just save the page.
  4. Remember, that for new pages you will need to ensure the page is sufficiently well linked to in order that people be able to find your new article!

Limitations

Wiki Markup Quick Ref

Text cab be emboldened by surrounding text with <b> and </b> tags, like this:

<b>emboldened</b>


Text cab be italicised by surrounding text with <i> and </i> tags, like this:

<i>italicised</i>


And of course both italicised AND emboldened text is possible, by surrounding the text with both tags, ensuring that one set is 'inside' the other, like this:

<i><b>italicised and emboldened</b></i>

OR

<b><i>italicised AND emboldened</i></b>


But Not crossed over, like this:

<b><i>italicised AND emboldened</b></i>
