 ==Basic editing using wiki codes and buttons==
-The same way most webpages use HTML, Clicklaw Wikibooks uses a relatively simple markup language to determine how content looks. The headings, lists, indented paragraphs and other formatting that give form and structure to a wiki page are controlled using wiki codes.
+Clicklaw Wikibooks uses a  simple markup language to control how content looks, but to start off, you don't need to remember what they are. There are buttons that do most of the formatting and wiki markup for you.
+Headings, lists, indented paragraphs and other formatting that give form and structure to a wiki page are controlled using wiki codes.
-The good news is that there are not very many wiki codes, and many of them (for example, bold, italics, hyperlink) also have buttons in the edit toolbar that you can use that will automatically insert the codes.
+Select a portion of text while in the edit screen, and then click one of the buttons to apply that formatting.
