Editing
In order to edit, you may either click the edit button toward the top of the page (between Read and View History). Or you can click the edit button to the right of each section. If you're new to editing, you should probably edit an individual section, rather than the whole page.
Click "edit" on any section of this page to see what it looks like in edit mode.
Saving
Once you've created your content and made your changes, make sure to click the words "Save page" at the bottom of the page. If you don't do that then your editing will not be saved. If you screw something up and you want to revert to a previous incarnation of the page, you can always do that through the "View history" section up at the top next to the Edit button.
Sections
To create a section that automatically appears in the table of contents, put two equal signs around a word or phrase. At least 4 sections are needed to create the table of contents.
Subsections
Subsections are created by putting additional equal signs around a word or phrase. Subsections are individually editable, but they don't appear in the table of contents.
Bold
Three apostrophes around a word or phrase makes it Bold. You can also just cursor over the word or phrase and click the "B" for Bold icon that appears if you're in edit mode.
Italics
Two apostrophes around a word or phrase makes it Italicized. You can also just cursor over the word or phrase and click the "I" for Italics icon that appears in edit mode.
Links
A link is created by putting brackets around the URL and whatever you want to appear on the page as the link. This is the format: [URL words that appear as a link]. For example, this is a link to OCDLA: Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. Anything after the space following the URL and before the closed bracket will appear as the link on the page.
On some pages, you might see a link to another page on this site using double brackets and underscores. But if you're reading this and you want to link to another page on this site, you can just copy the URL and paste it in as you just learned in the last paragraph. Like this: Sandbox. This is the other way you might see it: Sandbox.
