The course description uses Markdown syntax, which you can use to create links, bulleted or numbered lists, and wikitext code examples. (ask.wikiedu.org also uses Markdown.)
Put the text of a link in square brackets, followed by the url in parentheses:
[Wiki Ed dashboard](http://dashboard.wikiedu.org)
Use an asterix followed by a space to create a bullet:
* This is a bullet item
* This is a subitem, indented with four spaces
* This is another subitem
Create numbered lists like this:
1. First numbered item
2. Second numbered item
Use backticks to enclose wikitext code examples:
[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|This is a wikitext example.]]
See the markdown documentation for more details.
The Timeline has a what-you-see-is-what-you-get-editor with limited formatting options.
