Laying out text is vital and you can use bold, italic, underline, different header sizes, tables, rulers, and lots more. Rather than list everything here, just load up the original wiki, click the syntax link and then edit the page to see all the syntax. Other things worth checking are sub menus which appear on certain pages if you use the namespace feature. Click the features link to see more about these.
Linking Pages
A link is put inside two nested square brackets.
[[like this]]That link will show red if the page doesn't exist. Just click it and you'll get the option of having it created. For external links put the url in the double square brackets.
[[http://cplus.about.com]]You can also add extra text to appear instead of the url in the document, after a pipe | character. E.g.
[[http://cplus.about.com|About C,C++ and C#]]shows About C, C++ and C# as a clickable link that opens in a new window.
Protecting and Unprotecting Pages
Any editable page showing an open padlock can be encrypted. Click it then enter a password to encrypt the page using the AES encryption algorithm and is secure enough that if you lose your password, you will lose your text. You have to enter the password into both boxes and click the button. It takes a few seconds to encrypt as JavaScript is not the fastest code.
Final Notes
You now know enough to start using WoaS. There is a lot more in this for instance, you can include code using the no wiki syntax {{{ }}} and include pages within pages. Because it's in JavaScript you can view the source code in the browser and see how things are done. It's a bit of an odd concept having a file that modifies itself but is excellently done and quite elegant.If you want to know more about HTML, CSS or JavaScript check out these other About Sites.
