Q:

Using

the

Rich

Text

Editor,

I

am

having

trouble

getting

things

to

do

what

I

want.

For

instance,

when

I

try

move

an

item

in

a

list

and

then

promote

it,

it

is

not

being

promoted

properly.


A:

The

Rich

Text

Editor

does

not

always

behave.

It

is

useful

as

a

tool

to

try

to

do

something

you

may

not

have

done

before

and

may

not

know

how

to

do

in

wiki

markup

language.

you

may

find

that

the

wikis

will

give

you

more

control

over

how

your

page

behaves.

Text

Editor.

(found

in

wiki

guide

3.0)

Safari

does

not

work

properly

with

the

Rich

Text

Editor.

Try

using

Firefox

if

you

wish

to

use

the

Rich

Text

Editor,

or

if

you

need

to

use

Safari,

use

Wiki

Markup

to

edit

and

format

your

page.

Q:

What

if

I

mess

something

up

while

editing

a

page?


A:

Wikis

makes

it

really

easy

to

restore

a

previous

version.

Go

into

Tools,

Page

History.

Select

the

version

prior

to

your

problematic

edits

and

click

on

Restore

this

version.
