1 Editing Pages - essenius/FitNesseFitSharpFeatureDemos GitHub Wiki

You can edit FitNesse pages either by pressing the Edit button on the page, or by using the edit responder in the URL, e.g. http://localhost:8080/FibonacciTest?edit. We will first have a look at the top part of the edit form.

To be done: elaborate the options here: help text, tags, Excel, formatting, templates

To make the Wiki pages better readable for humans, FitNesse provides quite a bit of markup. A FitNesse Cheat Sheet is available on the FitNesse site; the table below shows a few commonly used formatting commands.To make the Wiki pages better readable for humans, FitNesse provides quite a bit of markup.
