Tutorial:Explaining the concept of Wiki

First things first

• Only registered users can create pages.

• For testing out the code in the tutorial below, on the left hand side SEARCH BOX type in <User:YOURUSERNAME/sandbox>. For example, if my username is Brahma. I would type the following:

User:Brahma/sandbox

• This sandbox is your own page. You can do any testing you want here without affecting the site.

• It is recommended that you open 2 windows. One with this tutorial page open and the other with your sandbox open, so that working on examples mentioned here will be easier.

• One last thing. You will notice a small notepad icon on the right top corner near the log-out link. Try the following to know more about its functionality.

1) Click on EDIT on top of this page.
2) Once the edit window appears, single-click on the notepad icon on top. This enables a functionality called WikiEd, which highlights different sections in the edit window by different colors. Plus it provides several easy wiki-markup tools in the Editing Toolbar. Its sometimes helpful, sometimes its a bit messy.
3) Click on the notepad icon once again to remove the WikiEd functionality.
4) Scroll down to the bottom of the EDIT page and hit CANCEL (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS TUTORIAL)
4) When you go to your sandbox, choose which-ever interface works best for you.
