h4. Simple formatting

Simple formatting is things like *bold* or _italic_ text, [hyperlinks|macros], bulleted and ordered lists, tables Etc. It's all in the [*notation guide*|http://wiki.fai.org/renderer/notationhelp.action].

When you are editing a page you have two options, to do it in the *Rich text editor* or the *Wiki markup editor*. You can freely switch between the two as you are editing a page, and see final result of either in the *preview* page. Probably the easiest way to learn simple wiki formatting markup is to do it in the WYSIWYG Rich text editor and then switch to the Wiki markup editor to see what the Rich text editor has done.

Complex objects like tables are often much easier to construct in the Rich text editor whereas it is often faster to construct simple objects like hyperlinks in the wiki markup editor.

h4. Formatting macros

Macros are surrounded by curly braces

and looks like this in the rendered page

{info:title=Be Careful}
This macro is useful for including helpful information in your wiki pages
{info}
or you could make two columns in your page with this:

{code}{section:border=true}
{column:width=30%}
Column one text goes here
{column}
{column:width=70%}
Column two text goes here
{column}
{section}
{code}

which looks like this:

{section:border=true}
{column:width=30%}
Column one text goes here
{column}
{column:width=70%}
Column two text goes here
{column}
{section}
