[edit] 1 Instructions for Virbus editors by Dejan

• WIKI help User's Guide (go to editors section).

• Creating new page from another page: In-between text you write a link to a page that does not exist yet with [[The_Name_of_Your_New_Page]]. After saving page, your page link is shown in red which means page is empty. Click on the red link, then click Edit and you have just started to edit the page "The_Name_of_Your_New_Page"

• Linking to another existing page: Where you need the link, write [[The_Name_of_the_Page_You_Would_Like_to_Link]]. The name between brackets must be identical to the name of the page, which in the case of What is VIRBUS? is [[What is VIRBUS?]]. The name of the page is the first heading on the top of the page before any other text (see What is VIRBUS? example).

• Embedding files *.doc, *.xls, *.ppt etc.

• Bold text :: '''Bold text''' or use button above the text-pad

• Italic text :: ''Italic text'' or use button above the text-pad

• For new line press Enter twice.
