Help:Edit mode

Wikis like Ifigenia have a non-WYSIWYG edit page interface. Inexperienced users may need few days of experimenting until they get used to the environment, but it is real fun to explore it. The best place for any kind of experiments is the Sandbox or a subpage created in the personal userspace.

Edit textbox

The edit text box is 80 characters wide and 25 lines long. This setting can be changed through the personal settings.

With few exceptions, every command, like template call, image call, horizontal rule, etc appears in read mode in the place where it was put in the source code in edit mode.

• One exception is the command for category, which always is rendered in the bottom of the page.
• Another exception may be some vertically rendering templates that are "floating" to the right or the the left of the page.
