Using the Wiki

Adding an Author

Editing pages

At the top left of every page, you will see an "Edit " Button. This will bring up the editing box.

You can use the buttons on the top left of the edit box just like you would in a word processing program to bold, italicize, underline, etc. These buttons will create your wiki syntax, a simple form of mark-up that tells the wiki how to display your text. To create "headings," choose Format. You will have a choice as to the size of the heading you want to create. You can also select the Font and Size of font that you want.

If you want to link to a source click the button. Select Link Type which allows you to add a URL for an outside source.
