Editing in a wiki

• in a wiki each page can be edited using a very simple word processor. You can access the word processor by clicking on "Edit" button above the article.
• the text you type in the editor box appears as you typed in. Thus, using special characters you can format your text and using special commands you can access special features. The possibilities are unlimited, but you will need minimum two basic features to format the typed in text.
  • Different levels of heading to split your text in sections - If you put a "!" at the beginning of a row, that row becomes a heading (bigger fonts). If you put 2 exclamation marks it becomes a sub-heading. If 3, then sub-sub-heading
  • Producing lists - If a row starts with "*" (asterix) it becomes a part of a buleted list. If you put "#" it will be a numbered list If you put 2 or 3 (**, *** resp. ##, ###) sub-lists appear
• below the edit box (the blue area after you pressed Edit on a page) you can find a short reminder on the usage of different special characters.
• further information available on basic editing in the documentation or on advanced editing on PmWiki's homepage
