Introduction
Writing has come a long way throughout the ages. From its humble beginnings, writing has evolved alongside technology. With each new age of technology comes new ways to write and new tools to aid the writing process.
Wikis are a very powerful writing tool (as well as a new technology), as they provide a resource for a collaborative work, with the ability to write on almost any subject. Writing and editing for a wiki is not as hard as it may seem, anyone can do it, it just requires knowledge of a subject and a willingness to share that knowledge.
This section will describe how it is possible to write and edit with a wiki.

For a wiki, there is a formatting language which is similar to that of HTML, where headings and different types of font require different tags.
