write an article with the WYSIWYG editor
In order to write articles, you need the XStandard Lite plugin. Please install the plugin from the DESY-Netinstall or from the XStandard website. If you are working on Linux, the XStandard Lite won't work. You will see then a simple editor (not a WYSIWYG editor).
Here is a quickstart documentation for the WYSIWYG editor.

Click on the "Edit" button of your Wikipage. On the top right corner above the text area, there's a link XHTML. Please click on this link to change to BBCode modus. The button with the square root sign on it enables you to edit formulae.

Click on the "Edit" button of your Wikipage. There's a field "Keywords". Write a list of keywords for your article. The Keywords may be seperated with a space or with a comma. If a Keyword has two or more words for example "Tools and Utilities", please link the words with underscrores: "Tools_and_Utilities". Otherwise the system will pick the 3 words as independant keywords.
