Basic usage
How do I edit a page?
To edit a page, simply click the edit link that appears on each page. This is in the form of a tab at the top of the page. A form will appear, containing the existing markup. When you have finished making modifications, click the Save button to commit your changes.
Hint: It always pays to use the Preview button first so you can check that the edit is what you intended.
How do I create a new page?
The simplest way to create a new page is to create a link to the page on another page, then click on the red link which appears.
e.g. Example New Page << is a red link until someone creates the page with this name.
Links?
- A link to an external page is created by using one bracket at each end of the URL:
Using [http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/ http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/] creates http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/
- A link to an internal page is simply two brackets at the ends, around whatever you want to call the new page (careful, it is case sensitive):
Using [[Sandpit]] creates Sandpit
