Wikitext Formatting

Wikitext formatting

Geni's wikitext edit controls include a toolbar at the top to easily generate wikitext formatting. Simply hover your mouse over each icon in the toolbar to see what it does, or refer to the detailed instructions below.

We've simplified wikitext line breaks to be more intuitive. Now, you no longer need to use the line break button or the code " " to split a line. Just hit Enter one time for a single line break.
