History: WikiFormatting

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.
