This is Steve's editing introduction.
This is not a complete introduction, for two reasons. First, I just want to get you enough information that you can start editing now. Second, some features we need aren't enabled yet.
This is ALL very easy -- and it will get a LOT more easy when the GUI-based Editor is installed.
Bolding/italicizing
You bold text by entering '''text''' as here: text.
You italicize text by entering ''text'' as here: text.
You bold and italicize text by entering '''''text''''' as here: text.
Headers
You can have as many levels of headers as you want. Have enough headers, and a Table Of Contents will automatically appear.
You make a first-level header by entering ==text==.
You make a second-level header by entering ===text=== as here:
Second-level header
You make a third-level header by entering ====text==== as here:
Third-level header
Wikilinks, Wikipedia links, and links to internet pages
You make a wikilink to an article inside Wikidelphia by entering [[text]] as here Nonprofit Technology Resources. Capitalizatiion is important!
You make a wikilink to an article inside Wikipedia by entering [[Wikipedia:text]] as here Wikipedia:Free Geek.
If you've already accessed the article, the wikilink gets dark. If the article doesn't exist yet, the text will be red.
You make a link to an article on the internet by entering [url] as here [http://www.cnn.com] becomes [1].
Renaming links
Wouldn't it be nice if the wikilink and external link names were more descriptive? Well, you can have that, and it's very easy also.
Rename an external link (a link to an internet page) by using the following format: [url text] as here [http://www.cnn.com CNN] becomes CNN.
References
We don't have the References capability enabled yet.
