Line 4:
In compatible browsers, an '''edit toolbar''' can be automatically displayed with the edit box, provided that this has been set in the [[Help:Preferences|preferences]]. It appears automatically for editors who are not logged in. This functions partly as a typing aid and partly as a reminder of the available functions. All the functions are available simply by typing the code directly into the edit box (such as <nowiki>[[link]]</nowiki>) – this may be easier.
 
The toolbar works with [[w:InternetGoogle Explorer|Chrome]], [[Firefox]], [[Internet Explorer]], [[Microsoft Edge]] [[w:Mozilla Application Suite|the Mozilla Suite]]/[[W:SeaMonkey|SeaMonkey]], [[w:Firefox|Firefox]], [[w:Konqueror|Konqueror]], [[w:Safari (browser)|Safari]], and [[w:Opera (browser)|Opera]] and [[Google Chrome]].
 
In Mozilla browsers, IE, and Chrome you can format existing text by highlighting the text you want to format and clicking the relevant button on the toolbar. If you click a button without selecting any text, sample text will be inserted at the cursor's position (like so: '''Bold text'''). In other browsers, clicking on the button presents an explanation for that feature. (Pre-release 9.0 versions of Opera browser also seem to support the advanced functionality.)
