Rich Text Editor
The Rich Text editor allows you to enter content in they way you would in a word processor. Content is formatted using buttons and icons rather than code. This allows for an faster and easier method of building Wiki pages. The Rich Text editor is the far left-tab in the 'Edit' screen. Important things to know about Rich Text:
- Most macro code is not recognized by the Rich Text editor; all code should be written using Wiki Markup.
- You can switch between Rich Text and Wiki Markup without losing your changes.
- If you are using IE 8, you will need to turn on "Compatibility View" to use the Rich Text Editor. Navigate to the wikis and select "Compatibility View" from the 'Tools' menu.
