How to Edit a Reference Article

Difficulty: Very Easy

There are two errors that we are currently working on:

1) Some elements(heading, paragraph) can be dropped onto other elements. They can still be moved, but they may "disappear" at sometime. For an example, drop a heading on a paragraph when it is still over it.

2) The LAST element you move will not register as being moved if submitted. Before you save, create another element and move it on the bottom. It appears on the bottom already.

Materials
  • 1) Computer
  • 2) Web Browser.

This tutorial is to show how to edit an article on RideFix.com

Steps

Step 1: Create an Element

Simply click on the top bar in order create the element you want. I am working on getting the cursor to focus on the newly created element. Eventually we will have it.

Step 2: Click and hold the element heading bar

To rearrange the order of the elements, simply click on the top gray part of the element. A four arrow cursor will appear, show what is movable.

Step 3: Move the element where you want

Simply move the element to the position you want, and release the button. It will drop in place.

Step 4: Save the article

For the time being, in order to save properly, you need to create one last element and move it to the bottom(it will appear there already, but you still need to move it). If this is not done, the last element you moved might appear in the wrong place, or overwrite an element in a different place. I am working on fixing this. Apologies.

Step 5: RideFix Markup Language

You can alter the visual appearance of an article by adding our markup language to any element.

Step 6: Bold, italic, and underline

To make text bold, italic, or underline, simple wrap the words with either two dashes(--)a b for bold, i for italic, or u for underline two dashes(--). This opens the tag. To close the tag, use the same method, but instead of two dashes, use to slashes(//) on both sides of the b, i, or u.
