WikiFormatting

General Description

Tiki provides numerous options for changing the appearance of text you type into text area boxes (for example, in blogs, forums, or Wiki pages). In blogs, you can use the WYSIWYG editor. If your admnistrator has given you the appropriate level of permissions, you can use HTML. But most people like to use the special Wiki formatting codes, called WikiTags, that Tiki makes available. WikiTags are easy to use. Whenever you're editing a Wiki page, click Help to see a quick reference guide to the available tags.

See WikiSyntax for a quick reference guide. See WikiCharacterFormattingDoc for detailed information on creating formats such as bold, italic, and underlining. See WikiPageLayoutDoc for detailed information on designing your pages with WikiSyntax. For detailed information on linking to Wiki or external pages, see WikiLinkingDoc. For a general introducing to editing Wiki pages, see WikiEditingDoc.
