Tiki's Wiki Page Editor is a powerful tool that allows users to create and edit wiki pages within Tiki. The editor is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, even for users who are not familiar with HTML or other web programming languages.
The Wiki Page Editor will allow you to do some or all of the following:

• Add content
• Accentuate your content using Wiki Syntax
• Add HTML tags

The following image shows the Wiki Page Editor.

The buttons across the top of the page are almost identical except for Help which displays a help screen for Wiki syntax below the editor. See Help button below.
We can divide the Editor in three parts: The header, The body, and the footer.

The header contains two bars: The upper bar and the lower bar

• The upper bar : these icons provide a handy way of inserting Wiki Syntax. When one of these icons is selected, the Wiki syntax is inserted at the cursors position. The meaning of each of these icons is as follows:
  • Bold Text Will insert __text__ / replace text with the text to be made bold. See Wiki-Syntax Text

  • Italic Text Will insert ''text'' / replace text with the text to be italicized. See Wiki-Syntax Text

  • Underlined Text Will insert ===text=== / replace text with text to be underlined. See Wiki-Syntax Text

  • Strikethrough Will insert --text-- / replace text with text to be strikethrough. See Wiki-Syntax Text

  • Colored Text (or Foreground color) / Will insert ~~#FF0000:text~~ / replace FF0000 with a HTML color number and text with the text that you want colored. See Wiki-Syntax Text

  • Choose or upload images Will open a window to allow you either to upload an image or to choose one from your galleries

    Either you choose to upload an image or choose from your galleries, it will insert
