Page Editing
For a step-by-step guide to creating a new page go to How To Contribute.
For a quick reference guide to the main elements of Wiki mark-up see SyntaxReference.
To edit a page, click on the "Edit" link either in the box on the right-hand side of the page or in the options bar at the bottom of the page. You must be logged-in to edit a page. Use the "Preview" button to check layout and formatting, which can be especially useful when inputting maths or other complex mark-up (although some formatting e.g. the @VARIABLE@ subsitution macro will not be displayed properly until the page has been saved).
When editing an existing page please acknowledge yourself in the "Additional Contributors" section of the AtlasModelTemplate.
To experiment with Wiki markup, go to the WikiSandBox and then click on "Edit" either in the box on the right-hand side or at the bottom of the page. Use your browser's "open a new window with this link" feature on the word "WikiSandBox", so you can keep the Help pages open side-by-side with the editing window.
