On a wiki, it is customary to allow readers to edit content and structure. This is a brief overview of the editing process.
In the left column of the table below, you can find a series of Wiki markup examples. In the right column, you can see the resulting output. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the right column, type it in the format you see in the left column. You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the Sandbox.
You can use some HTML tags as well. However, you should avoid HTML in favor of Wiki markup whenever possible.
A few different kinds of formatting will tell the Wiki software to display your text just as you typed it.
