Editing controls toolbar

Clicking a toolbar icon lets you perform the following on selected text:

• bold/italics
• link inside/outside our wiki
• level 2 headline; add picture
• mask wiki text; add separator

Markup

By using just the toolbar, you can write a whole wiki page. However, feel free to start learning wiki markup: If text is preceded and/or followed by a set of characters, they tell the text how to behave. Examples:

What you want	What you type	What you get
Bold text	An '''example''' of bold text.	An example of bold text.
Green text	An <font color="green">example</font> of green text.	An example of green text.
Link inside wiki	A link to our [[Help]] file.	A link to our Help file.

You may copy and paste more markup examples from the Wiki Markup page.

Images

In order to embed a chess diagram, or other image:

• Save an Example.jpg image file on your PC.
• Make sure you are permitted to publish the image on the internet.
• Upload the file to our wiki.
• Open the wiki page, click "Edit". Put the cursor where you want to embed the image.
• Type [[File:Example.jpg]], or use the editing controls toolbar.
