We hope to identify a good editor by November 1st. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the simple text editor in Mediawiki that does provide the following formatting functions:

* Bold
* Italic
* Internal link (a link to a page within the wiki)
* External link (a link to any location on the web)
* Header
* Embed and image
* Embed a media file
* Embed a Mathematical Formula
* Ignore Wiki Formatting
* Add Your Signature with a Timestamp
* Add Horizontal Rule

If you do not see these buttons

1. Click on the “my preferences” link in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Click on the EDITING tab.
3. Click the checkbox next to “Show edit toolbar (JavaScript).”
