GovITwiki offers two ways to edit our pages.

Contents

Option 1: WYSIWYG Editor

When you choose to edit a page, the editing section loads automatically with a basic "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) editor. GovITwikiare one of the few wikis to offer this simplified editor. It allows you to enter or edit text or links and to provide low-level page formating such as section headings, tables, text formating and more.

Many contributorss, as they learn how to edit pages, find that they prefer to use the traditional Wikitext editor instead of the WYSIWYG editor. See below for instructions on how to switch to the standard Wikitext editor. To toggle over to the standard Wikitext editor, click on the toolbar button (circled in the illustration below).

This is the toolboar that loads over the text to be edited for a page.


Option 2: Wikitext Editor

Just click on the Wikitext button to toggle over to the standard Wiki editor. The other buttons on the toolbar will turn gray. If you've ever contributed to Wikipedia or other wiki sites, you probably used a standard Wiki editor. Some of the most common shortcuts are shown below.
