Whether you’re writing a new Q-Wiki or editing a Q-Wiki that already exists, it’s helpful to know how to enter and format text. The Q-Wiki Content Editor makes this easy.

How to Use the Q-Wiki Content Editor to Enter and Format Text

The Q-Wiki Content Editor makes it easy to enter and format text. The text editor works just like a mini word processor—you type in your text and then format it by clicking on the relevant buttons. The icons depicting the different text formatting tools are likely familiar to anyone who regularly works with word processing programs. These tools are described and explained below:

Quamut Wiki Editing Toolbar

	Subscript	Makes text appear as a subscript
	Superscript	Makes text appear as a superscript
	Insert custom character	Clicking on this tool pops up a window from which you can choose to insert a custom character that isn’t readily available through. the keyboard
	Bold	Bolds text
	Itaiic	Italicizes text
	Underline	Underlines text
	Strikethrough	Puts a line through the middle of text, as if the text has been crossed out
	Align left	Aligns text (or an image or table) to the left
	Center	Aligns text (or an image or table) to the center
	Align right	Aligns text (or an image or table) to the right
	Align full	Justifies text so that it lines up on both the left and right sides.
	Bulleted list	Creates a bulleted list
	Numbered list	Creates a numbered list
	Indent	Indents text. You can click on this tool more than once to increase the indent
	Outdent	Undoes an indent. Clicking more than once undoes multiple indents. You will only be able to click on this tool if your cursor is in text or some other content that has already been indented
	Format	A pulldown menu that allows you to format your text in a number of ways: Paragraph: This is the default formatting (text will have this formatting even if you don’t choose paragraph from the pulldown menu) Address: Used for addresses or openings, though seldom necessary for Quamut Wikis Preformatted: Used to format computer code. If, for instance, a Quamut Wiki on programming includes some code, that text should have the preformatting format. Heading 1–6: Gives you access to six levels of headings, with 1 as the biggest. These Heading formats are the primary reason Quamut Wiki writers and editors may want to use the format pull down menu.
