Editing+Pages

toc //from Wikispaces help pages// =How do I edit a page?= Each editable page on Wikispaces has an "Edit This Page" button at the top of the page. Sometimes the button will look slightly different or be in a different place but it should always be easily recognized. Click on this button to bring up the page editor. The page editor allows you to add text and pictures to a page and to format that page. =What is the difference between the "visual" editor and "text" editor?= The Wikispaces editor has a visual mode and a plain text mode. The visual editor lets you see the final look and feel of a page before you save it. It's just like using a word processor. The text editor allows you to edit the raw wikitext of a page. It's useful when you want to get under the hood and tinker. We support the visual editor in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0. If your browser does not support the visual editor we will automatically load the text editor for you.

You can bold, italicize, underline, and bullet text; format text in various headings; or add a horizontal line break to your page. You can also change the font, color, alignment, or size of your text. To learn more about this, see the following section. If would like to learn more about formatting text in our text editor, see our wikitext page.  =Can I change the color or size of text on my wiki page?= Wikispaces gives you the ability to format the font, color, and size of text on your page as well as to align text. To do so, If you know CSS, you can switch to the "Advanced Mode" of the formatting tool and easily alter the CSS of the highlighted text. =How do I add a symbol to my page?= If you would like to add a special character to the page, such as a Euro sign € or superscript number ⁷, click "Edit This Page" and click on the Special Character icon in the toolbar. =Can I build my wiki in a language other than English?= Wikispaces stores all pages and message data in UTF-8. This means that you can build your wiki in nearly any language on earth and it will appear correctly.  =How do I add or remove a link on my page?= =How do I edit a link already on my page?=
