Warning: Don't click on the
Visual or
Preview tabs, they just mess things up. Just enter the plain text, html or wiki markup on the
WikiMarkup tab.
Most of these pages have been imported from HTML pages which is why there is so much HTML in them. But don't be put off by this. When you click the edit but you will see the "What You See Is What You Get" editor.
