This page forms a quick reference for editing. It is based of the more detailed version at Wikipedia.

Text Formatting

When making a website, you can format the contents of that page using HTML tags. A tag consists of two parts; the start and the end. Different tags have different effects on text. An example of a HTML tag is <b>your text</b>, which appears as your text. Wiki markup uses tags, but not neccessarily the same ones as HTML. For example, although <b>your text</b> is HTML code, it will still produce your text if you put it into a Wiki page. Below is a general outline of the Wiki syntax; some code uses the HTML tag structure.
