Wikieducator rich text editor tutorials/Basic text formatting/Summary and FAQs

You can do most basic formatting on the wiki using the rich editor toolbar that appears while you are in editing mode with the rich editor enabled, but there may be times when you need to apply more sophisticated syntax. You do this by applying wiki markup manually to the text you are creating. For example the rich editor is currently unable to nest lists (i.e., create a list inside a list).

Mixing lists
The rich text editor toolbar is currently not able to mix lists. However we can do it using wikitext. You can either use the wikitext button on the rich editor toolbar or disable the rich editor. An example of the wikitext for a mixed list is shown below


 * 1) The first item in the list
 * 2) The second item in the list
 * 3) * The first nested bullet
 * 4) * The second nested bullet
 * 5) The third item in the list

which results in the following mixed list


 * 1) The first item in the list
 * 2) The second item in the list
 * 3) * The first nested bullet
 * 4) * The second nested bullet
 * 5) The third item in the list
