Confluence Markup is easy to learn and quick to use. At left you will find a quick overview of markup, but not a comprehensive one. It is enough to get you started. For further details, please visit the online documentation for [Confluence Markup|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/CyEC].

For those who prefer it, Confluence also provides a [WYSIWYG editor|http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/3RUC].
