Review lesson structure &Topics in left side bar.
 * What is Visual Editor?
 * It resembles editing in a word processing program.
 * It has limitations working in the Wiki, that is why it is preferable that we learn and use Wikitext.

Go over CAPABILITIES of Visual Editor:

 * Created to allow people with little knowledge of programming to add material to a Wiki site.
 * You can edit or add text working with actual text rather than in a wikitext box at the bottom of the page.
 * Place references/footnotes, images, templates and links (both internal and external), change fonts and change headers, etc.
 * You can create bulleted and numbered lists
 * Editing the material in the Wiki is often much easier and faster.



Show how to use Visual Editor:

 * Click on the "Edit" tab on the Wiki tool bar.
 * Point out the different tool bar
 * You and me
 * Movie on TV
 * Dinner with him
 * Read Scriptures


 * Make Dinner


 * Swimming

= Cite References = Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed mattis risus libero, ac vehicula neque rhoncus luctus. Phasellus mattis nisl ut felis porttitor, vel faucibus nisl viverra. Suspendisse convallis erat justo, pulvinar sollicitudin ante eleifend sed. Mauris tortor tellus, mattis non egestas nec, molestie consectetur nibh. Praesent sagittis enim sit amet leo fringilla, in euismod magna ullamcorper. Phasellus eget elit viverra, convallis metus id, ornare neque. Duis nec nunc sed est iaculis consequat.
 * Create a reference or footnote for the word "Lorem" explaining what the Lorem ipsum paragraph is used for.
 * On the word "Phasellus" put the same reference you created again.

= Lesson # 6: Links =

Internal links
 * "Search pages" tab is for selecting links to articles within the Wiki. Sug can edit or add text on any page except in areas that turned light blue when hovering mouse.
 * The areas that turn blue are templates, or infoboxes, etc which cannot be edited in Visual Editor.
 * Those areas that are outlined with a black border are tables. You can edit the text in the table or change the structure of the table, such as increase the number of rows or columns.
 * You can add or fix links
 * You can add references or footnotes.
 * You can create bullet and numbered lists.

 Go over LIMITATIONS: 
 * You can place images, but have little control as to their size and location in an article.
 * To do more than is allowed by Visual Editor requires a knowledge of Wikitext coding.
 * You will need to know Wikitext to increase your other capabilities in the Wiki.

Lesson # 4: Paragraph and Headers:
"DO NOT use this size of header in your articles. If you were to make a header with one equal sign, it will remove the actual title at the top of the page, leaving a blank space. In addition, the browser will think your header is now the title of the article."

= Text Styling =

You can make changes to the style or appearance of text. Highlight the text you want to alter and select from the drop down menu.

(Notice: You can also change style by using the Control key with another key such as a "i" to change text to italics.) Lesson #4: Paragraph & Headers By clicking on the Paragraph tab, you will see the following drop down menu: Here are the sizes of the headers as shown in the menu:
 * Bold - makes the text bold.
 * Italic - makes the text italic.
 * Superscript - turns text into a superscript.
 * Subscript - turns the text into a subscript.
 * Strikethrough - puts a line through the text.
 * Computer code[1] - inserts HTML tags around text you highlighted, which changes the default setting of the font.
 * Underline - draws a line under text.
 * Language[2] - changes language using ISO[3] coding such as "en" for English.
 * Clear formatting - removes any styling attached to the text other than default.
 * This menu allows you to change the size of the headers.
 * Highlight the header text you want to change and select the size from the dropped down menu. (Notice you can also change the size by holding down the Control key and then pressing the number that equals the size of the header wanted, such as Ctrl 3.)
 * Heading - header which is 2 equal signs (==) in Wikitext coding.
 * Sub-heading 1 - equals (===) in Wikitext coding.
 * Sub-heading 2 - equals (====) in Wikitext coding.
 * Sub-heading 3 - equals (=====) in Wikitext coding.
 * Sub-heading 4 - equals (======) in Wikitext coding.
 * Preformatted - Removes the default font and replaces it with a font that looks like old typewriter font.
 * Block quote - Turns a paragraph or sentence into a block of text that is indented.
 * Page title - equals (=) in Wikitext coding. However, this size header is RESERVED ONLY FOR ARTICLE TITLES! DO NOT use this size of header in your articles. If you were to make a header with one equal sign, it will remove the actual title at the top of the page, leaving a blank space. In addition, the browser will think your header is now the title of the article.
