Tables are an important tool for formatting tabular page content.Ĭomments are not visible to readers, but only in edit mode. Use the "insert" menu to insert various media (images, videos) and text formats:
Insert special content Paste Special Content The citation menu is used to insert references (also called itemizations or footnotes) within the text. In a table, you may need to double-click the cell first and then click the hyperlink again. To subsequently change the hyperlink description, just click on the link to open the edit menu. If no text was selected before the hyperlink dialog was opened, the link will be generated with a number: ( More Info at /wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/en#Getting_Started:_The_VisualEditor-Toolbar]) If no text has been selected before clicking on the " A" button and on a button, the text will be formatted from the current position of the cursor. Note: If you work in a table, the options will change accordingly (content cell and header cell): Here text can be defined as heading or specific paragraph type. Right arrow: Restore last action (greyed out: there's nothing to restore yet) Left arrow: Undo last action (greyed out: there is no last action yet) The consistent formatting of content supports the readability of your wiki content. That's why it has exactly the features that are often needed to create a wiki page. VisualEditor is optimized for editing web pages. Here in the BlueSpice Helpdesk, we only give some hints and tips for using the editor. Since VisualEditor is a standard MediaWiki extension, you can also read a documentation of functionality on MediaWiki.

File formats with a preview option: jpg/jpeg, png, gif, pdf.Multiple formats can be removed after text selection with Ctrl+m.Īll available keyboard shortcuts are marked accordingly in VisualEditor next to each menu item. Pressing Ctrl+b again will cancel the bold. Even a link can be quickly inserted by pressing Ctrl+k. For example, to show text in bold and italic, highlight the text and press Ctrl+b (for " bold") and Ctrl+i (for " italics"). If you want to apply multiple formatting options at the same time, shortcuts are often the quickest way. To paste content as plain text instead, use the shortcut ctrl+shift+v. If you already pasted text which resulted in undesirable formatting, you can use the undo function in VisualEditor to remove the content again if you have not yet saved the page or switched between visual and source editing mode. To avoid, this you should paste the content as plaintext. If you paste content from your clipboard (e.g., copied from MS Word or MS Excel), you usually also paste many unnecessary formatting tags from the original application.
