When you're editing, you can go between "wikitext" and "preview" to see what you've entered, and what it looks like.

Normal wiki markup

Look at the editing toolbar: When editing, you can click on "help" to get further help.

Using the buttons left to right, the standard markup is:

Bold text

Italic text

A link to an external page: the faculty of education

Another wiki page our wiki home page

A reference: [1]

A list:

  • Bulleted list item
  • Bulleted list item
  • Bulleted list item

A numbered list

  1. Numbered list item
  2. Numbered list item
  3. Numbered list item

Indented line:

Advanced Editing

There are ways to use advanced markup, and to "create your own markup", or "macros", and these typically look like this:

<something>some test</something>
{{something}}
{{something|something else|something else}}
{{something|text=something else|other=something else}}
{{#something}}
  1. my reference text
