The content of a Q-Wiki is the real meat of the entry—it’s the combination of instructional text and images that teach the content you’re covering. In general, the text you write should start off with a few sentences of introduction that draw the reader into your topic, followed by the how-to “meat” of the Q-Wiki.

Q-Wiki Tone

As you write (or edit) Q-Wikis, strive for a tone of informal authority or friendly expertise. Think of yourself as a trusted friend or relative that the reader has turned to for advice. The goal is for every Q-Wiki to provide the reader with clear, engaging, and trustworthy advice and instruction—expert how-to insight offered in a voice and vocabulary that everyone can understand.

Q-Wiki Organization

You can organize a Quamut Wiki in whatever way that you think best explains the topic you’re covering. For instance, for simple instructions you may want to just provide a numbered list that lays out what to do, step by step. For more complicated instructions, you may want to use an array of headings, bulleted lists, numbered lists, or other formatting tools to give the content the organization it needs to be clear and easy to follow.

The Q-Wiki Content Editor

To enter your content, Q-Wiki provides you with an intuitive system—the Q-Wiki Content Editor. The interface contains a number of buttons or tools above a field into which you can type your text.

IconName Function
cut icon CutAllows you to cut content (text, images, tables, and so on) that you’ve already entered, so that you can paste it somewhere else.
copy icon CopyAllows you to copy content (text, images, tables, and so on), so that you can paste it somewhere else. Similar to the Cut tool, except it does not remove the original bit of text or other content.
paste icon Paste Places the text or other content that you’ve most recently cut or copied to the spot where the cursor is on the editing screen.
undo icon Undo Undoes the most recent action. You can undo multiple times.
redo icon Redo If you decide after the fact that you don’t want to undo an action, redo allows you to undo the undo.
help icon Help Brings you to the help documentation to answer any question you might have.
html icon HTML For advanced users who would prefer to create their Quamut Wiki directly using HTML, as opposed to using the Quamut Wiki Content Editor.
