When you edit a page on LocalWiki, you will notice a toolbar that looks like this:

The buttons on this toolbar will help you to format text in the way that you like, add links, images, equations, and all kinds of things. Let's look at the individual buttons and what they are used for:

  • - Bold - Select your text and click this button to make text bold
  •  - Italic - Select your text and click this button to make text italic
  •  - Underline - Select your text and click this button to make text underlined
  •  - Strikethrough - Select your text and click this button to strike through text
  •  Styles -  This drop down menu can be selected to apply different formats to text. The formats currently available are:
    • Normal - This is normal formatted text.

    • Heading 1 - This is Heading 1 formatted text.

    • Heading 2 - This is Heading 2 formatted text.

    • Heading 3 - This is Heading 3 formatted text.

    • Typewriter - This is Typewriter formatted text.
    • 6. Formatted - Formatted text appears within a box like this.

  •  - Page Plugins - Click on this drop-down menu to insert plugins into your page. A plugin is usually content that is more complex than a simple image or text. The drop-down menu currently contains these 3 items:
    1. ​ Include Page - This option will allow you to insert another full page of the wiki into this location in your page. This is useful for reusing content without having to duplicate it.
    2. Embed Media - This option will allow you to embed media into your page (for example, a video). This is usually in the form of an HTML <iframe> tag.
    3. Search Box - This option will insert a Search Box into your page. This search box will allow you to perform searches within the wiki for additional content. The Search box can be pre-populated with some specified text.
  • - Insert/Remove Numbered List - Click on this button to insert a numbered list on your page (just like the list used in the Page Plugins list right before this).
  • - Insert/Remove Bulleted List - Click on this button to insert a bulleted list on your page (this content is organized in a bulleted list).
