If you intend to write a long entry from scratch you may find it useful to write the article first in a text editor or word processor and then copy the text to WYAS Wiki. This may help prevent the loss of data should any problems occur with your connection to the Internet or if you are timed out of WYAS Wiki.

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
