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

When editing, you can click on "help" to get further help.

Normal wiki markup

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:

demo text

If you leave a space as first character on a line, then it looks like this:

a
b
c

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
