Help for Edit

When viewing a Wiki page, a reference page, or a data item page you can click on either Edit button (one is at the top and the other at the bottom right) to edit the page.

On the Editing page, the source plain-text file for the page is shown in a text-editing area, where you can modify it at will.

For a Wiki page, structure, fonts, etc. are indicated by MemoWiki markup, and you can also use HTML tags if you wish (note that if you do use HTML it is not checked by MemoWiki; you must ensure the markup is correct yourself).

For a Reference page, a special syntax is used, with HTML-like tags. In a reference, you can use inline MemoWiki markup in abstracts and comments.

For a Data item, MemoTrove syntax is used, with square-bracket tags. Data item values may include inline MemoWiki markup (which will be processed if the data value is used in a MemoWiki page).

Edit any existing page to see some examples of markup, or see this sample page and the markup used for it

There are three buttons at the bottom of the Editing page:

Done saves the page then displays the new (formatted) version
Save saves the page and lets you continue editing
Preview shows you a preview of how the page will look, so you can check your changes before saving. Note that the page is not saved until either the Save button or the the Done button is clicked.
