Page+Editing

=Page Editing=

Getting Started

 * To edit a page in a wiki, click the edit button near the top right of the page. This will put you in //Edit Mode.//

Edit Mode

 * While in //Edit Mode//, don't forget to save your work by clicking "Save" button on the right hand side of the menu bar.
 * //Edit Mode// defaults to a visual editor. You can see familiar word processing buttons such as "Bold", "Bulleted List" and "Link" on the menu bar. These sort of editing functions together are called a WYSIWYG (wizzeewig) editor, which acronym stands for "What you see is what you get". These are the sorts of editing options you get with Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
 * If you want more control over your pages, you can switch to a wikitext editor by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the "Save" button.
 * This down arrow give you 3 options:
 * Save and end Edit Mode
 * Save and continue editing
 * Wikitext Editor
 * The Wikitext Editor allows you to code in html and wikitext directly on your pages. If you are having formatting problems, it's often a good idea to check and see if your html/wikitext code has errors.

Creating Links
General: Creating links for this assignment:
 * To create a link in the text, highlight the word (or words) you want to link and click the "Link" button on the menu bar.
 * In the left hand column of the resulting dialog box, you will see 3 options:
 * //Wiki Link// -- use this to link to other pages in the wiki. You can create a new page by typing its name in the page name box. You can choose an existing page by clicking the "Choose an existing page" link just below the page name box.
 * //External Link// -- use this to link to a page outside the wiki
 * //Anchor// -- This option allows you to link to a particular place in a particular wiki page. I won't go over it here but you can use the "Help" button at the top of this web page to explore this advanced feature more fully
 * Go to the Class Members Page for your instructions.
