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] 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.
!Links (hyperlinks)
Links between pages within the Wiki 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] which takes you to the same place, but it appears more "in line").
At line 39 changed 2 lines
!Hyperlinks
The link can also be a direct URL starting with {{http:}}, {{ftp:}}, {{mailto:}}, {{https:}}, or {{news:}}, in which case the link points to an external entity. For example, 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].
Links to external sites can be made by indicating the URL starting with a "protocol" like {{http:}}, {{mailto:}}, or {{https:}} (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]). External sites are indicated by a little arrow.

If you do not start the link with one of the above "protocols", the wiki assumes a normal link to another page in the wiki space, %%(color:red) you need to use a letter as the first character of the page, purely numeric page names are not allowed%%. If you want to use square brackets ({{[[]}}) in the page without creating a hyperlink, use two opening square brackets. So the text {{[[[Example Non-Link]]}} will appear as {{[[Example Non-Link]}}.
Note that a link to another web page will open in the same browser window/tab unless you indicate a different "target" (i.e. ~[from Adobe|http://get.adobe.com/|target='_blank'] becomes [from Adobe|http://get.adobe.com/|target='_blank'] which opens in a different page) __single quotes only around the '_blank'__ is very important
At line 44 changed one line
To add a new page you just create a link to it from somewhere else. After all, there isn't much point in having a page if you can't access it! You'll then see a small question mark after the page name when you return to that page. Then click on it and you have created a new page!
To do email links, indicate the protocol as mailto: and put the email address to be sent to, follow. For example, {{~[mailto:info@microsoft.com]}} oor {{~[mailto:info@microsoft.com?subject=ABC123]}} to fill in the subject line with ABC123

It's allowed to use almost any kind of characters inside a [WikiName], as long as they are letters or numbers.

!Footnotes
These are a special kind of hyperlink. By using nothing but a number inside a hyperlink you create a reference to a footnote, like this {{[[1]}}, which
creates a footnote[1]. To make the actual footnote, you just put a {{[[#1]}} where you want that footnote to point at. Look below to find the footnote.

At line 52 changed 2 lines
You can also make a named footnote, just as if you were doing a normal hyperlink, such as {{[[Footnote name|1]}} as another way of referring to the first footnote[Footnote name|1]. Or you can put the custom name at the footnote itself[2].

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|]

If you want to add preformatted text (like code) just use three consecutive braces ({) to open a block, and three consecutive braces (}) to close a block. Edit this page for an example.

You can do simple tables by using pipe signs ('|'). Use double pipe
signs to start the heading of a table, and single pipe signs to then
write the rows of the table. End with a line that is not a table.

!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.
!Footnotes
These are a special kind of hyperlink. By using nothing but a number inside a hyperlink you create a reference to a footnote, like this {{[[1]}}, which

!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...
You can also make a named footnote, just as if you were doing a normal hyperlink, such as {{[[Footnote name|1]}} as another way of referring to the first footnote[Footnote name|1]. Or you can put the custom name at the footnote itself[2]. {{[2-The other footnote|#2]}}
At line 155 removed 24 lines
__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.
