How to edit? It is easy! Simply click to edit in the top of the page and you can start. This step bring you to a new page which contains the page you want to edit and in the top part of this page there are some buttons that help you with the simplest editing, such as you know it from MS Word.

When you are finished with your edit use the button show preview to see how the page looks with your edit. To see the differences between your edit and previous edit press show changes button. If you are satisfied with the results, press the save page button. Don’t forget to write edit summary in the small field below the editing box.

If you are not sure about editing an article, you can try few experimental edits at special page for trying out the wiki code: Sandbox.

Character formatting
For working with chemical formulas can be useful.

Indenting of text, bulleted and numbered list
You can also combine: colon, *star and # number sign.

Paragraph, empty line, hard space(fixed space)
This line begins with the space and because another line begins with space too, they aren’t joined together.
 * To continue writing in another line insert to a text an empty line – this mean press Enter two times.
 * End of the line you can also create by using code  or.
 * To use hard space  insert code
 * Putting a space at the beginning of each line stops the text  from being reformatted.
 * Note.: To indent a line use :   (colon).

Links and URLs
To create a link to another Wikilectures article you must use two square brackets (use combination right ALT + F and right ALT + G).

To see something other than the page name than write it behind the vertical line (right ALT + W)

By the same way you can also insert the links into the articles that haven’t been created yet. The only difference is in colours. Instead of blue will be the link red.

Link to internet page which is not a part of Wikilectures (external link) looks similar, but you must write it between the simple square brackets and is it not necessary to use vertical line. Notice: If you don’t write the name of the link you can see only the ordinal number of the link:

To connect, via interwiki link, to a page on the same subject in another language, put a link of the form:  language code:Title  near the bottom of the article. See also interwiki.

Uploading of images
The simplest way is to write internal link like  . After finishing you work with the page, click on the red link and you will be redirect to a page from which you upload the image. More information about uploading images you can find here.
