When you've figured out how the editor works, then you should read [WikiEtiquette] so that you would know how to use your newly acquired skills. The [SandBox|http://sandbox.jspwiki.org|targe='_blank'] is a great place to try them out.

!!Writing text
You don't need to know anything about the Wiki text formatting rules to use Wiki. Just write normal text, and then use an empty line to mark a paragraph.
It's just like writing an email. there is a powerful formatting capability, and a WYSIWYG toolbar to help you with the common ones. You don't have to know HTML or anything fancy like that to make things useful.

Links between pages are indicated by enclosing the page name in brackets (i.e. ~[USERCALC] becomes [USERCALC])
or by providing text and then indicating a link (i.e. ~[user calculations|USERCALC] becomes [user calculations|USERCALC]).

Links to external sites can be made by indicating the UTL starting with a "protocol" like {{http:}}, {{ftp:}}, {{mailto:}}, {{https:}}, or {{news:}}. (i.e., to point at the java.sun.com home page, use {{[[http://java.sun.com]}}, which becomes [http://java.sun.com/] or {{[[Java home page|http://java.sun.com]}}, which becomes [Java home page|http://java.sun.com]).

Another nice use for the ';:' is that you can use it to comment shortly on other people's text, by having an empty 'term' in the definition, like this:
{{{
;:''Comment here.''
}}}
Which would be seen as
;:''Comment here.''

You may use __bold__ text or ''italic'' text, by using two underscores (_) and two single quotes ('), respectively. If you're on a Windows computer, make sure that you are using the correct quote sign, as there is one that looks the same, but really isn't.
A [underscore|] effect can be produced by using a hyperlink to nowhere, like this: [[underscore|]

!CSS styles
While not in line with the keep it simple principle, CSS styles [can be used inline|CSSInWikipages] for those special occasions when you really need to emphasize part of a page (i.e. changing fonts or font sizes, or colors, etc.)

!!Things to note while editing
!Conflicts
If someone happens to edit the same page as you at the same time, JSPWiki will prevent you from doing changes and show a conflict page instead. Sorry to say, but the first one to make changes wins...
__A word of warning:__ If you use the Back button of your browser to go into the Edit page, you will almost certainly get a conflict. This is because the browser thinks it's still editing an earlier copy of the page.
!Adding new pages
Create a link that points to a new (not existing) page using its WikiName. Click that new link, and you will get an editor for the new page.
!Incuding one page on another
{{{
[{InsertPage page='News'}]
}}}
will include the page referenced at this point.
!Aliasing a Page
Sometimes it's useful to have one page really mean some other page. For example, you might have a page called "Page Aliases", but you would also like people to have it available under "Aliases". In such a case, you can use a "page alias":
Put the following on the "PageAliases" -page:
{{{
[{SET alias='PageAlias'}]
}}}
Every time someone views the page "PageAliases", they will be automatically redirected to this page. This is very useful if you want to be able to use the irregular plural forms, for example. Normally, The WikiEngine does properly recognize English language plural forms of page names (i.e. if the page is called __''Concept''__, you can link to it as ''concept ''or ''concepts'', but it's not smart enough to recognize certain forms, such as "aliases".
Obviously you cannot click on the "Edit this page" -link, because you are redirected every time you try to view a page. You can, however, edit the page directly by just writing Edit.jsp?page=pagename after the base URL.
