The "Computer code" item (a set of curly brackets: {}) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text. The "Unnerline" item (U) adds a solid line beneath the selected text. The "Leid" item (文A) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text. The final item (), called "Clear stylin", removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links. If you have not selected any text, then when you press the "A" to open the menu, and then select an item, that formatting will apply to the text that you start typing, from wherever your cursor is located.
	Airtin tuil: The chain is the airtin tuil.
	Soorce menu: The "Soorce" menu is used to add inline citations (also called "footnotes" or "references"). All projects have access to basic reference formatting and the ability to reuse citations by using this menu. It also gives users quick access to local citation templates, if these are enabled on their wiki. (Instructions for adding local citation templates to the Soorce menu at a specific wiki are available at VisualEditor/Citation tool .)
	⧼citoid-citefromidtool-title⧽ button: If the citoid service is enabled on your wiki, then you will see a ⧼citoid-citefromidtool-title⧽ button instead of a Soorce menu. The citoid service tries to fill out citation templates automatically.
	Leets & indentation: The first twa icons permit ye tae cræft nummert or bullet leets, respecteevelie. The laist twa permit ye tae mak muckler or smawer the indentation level o content.

In edit mode, pressing on the exclamation mark icon allows you to edit or delete the comment. The "Hierigleephs" icon (an ankh symbol - ☥) allows you to enter the hieroglyphics inserter. (See below.) The "Code block" item allows you to insert code. The "Musical notation" item allows you to insert a musical notation. The "Gallarie" icon (ae set o photæs) permits ye tae insert ae gallerie oantil the page. The "Math formula" icon (Σ) opens the formula inserter dialog. The "Graph" item allows you to insert a graph. The "Your signature" item allows you to insert a signature that you use on the project. It will be greyed out (not selectable) when you are editing a type of page (a "namespace"), such as an article, where signatures should not be inserted. * The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" icon (three buiks) apens ae dialog tae displey referances.
Special character insertion: The "Special character" icon permits yae tae summin ae subwindae wi ae nummer o byordinar chairachters that ye can steid intil the tex.

Eeditin referances

For further information, see Help using citation templates or Help using citoid's Cite button

Determining which system is in place
Your wiki may use one of three footnote systems. The one shown on the right is the simplest system, where the "Soorce" menu does not include any citation templates. If your wiki uses this system, then everything you need to know about footnotes is on this page.
The second system has the same type of "Soorce" menu, but with several popular citation templates set up for quick access. If your wiki uses this system, then you will find more details at Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Citations-Templates
In the third system, you again start by pressing the Cite button. Then a dialog box opens, which includes an automatic citation process using the citoid service. If your wiki uses this system, you will find more details at Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Citations-Full

When you select the icon, the context menu is displayed, and you can edit the template.
Template parameters
When you add a new template or open an existing one, the "Transclusion" dialog is shown. The contents depends upon whether the template has been documented using the new TemplateData system or not.
The template shown here has no TemplateData set up for it. The dialog therefore provides a link to documentation for the template. By visiting the documentation you should be able to figure out if the template has any parameters (fields), and what goes in each field. Use numbers as the name for each nameless parameter. The first un-named parameter is named 1, the second is named 2, and so forth.
If a template has been updated to contain TemplateData information, then the dialog will show a list of individual (named) parameters.

Editing lists

	You can use the visual editor to create lists, or to change the format of an existing list. There are two types of lists: unordered (bullet) and ordered (numbered). To start a new list, just press on one of the two menu items shown here. Or, if you already have typed the list (on separate lines), select (highlight) the list you have typed, then press on one of the menu items.
	Shown here are examples of the two types of lists: unordered (bullet) and ordered (numbered).
	If you want to change the indentation level of part of an existing list, select the part of the list that you want to change.
	Then use the menu, or press the Tab key. (The Tab key increases indentation; use the shift key plus the Tab key to decrease indentation)
	Here is the result of increased indentation.
	You can even mix ordered (numbered) and unordered (bullet) lists, if the list items have different indentations.

Editing tables

	You can use the visual editor to insert and change tables. You can even import a table by dragging a comma-separated value (.csv) file from your computer into the main editing window.
When you press on "Table", in the "Insert" menu, the visual editor inserts a blank four-by-four table. Now the "Table" menu is available. From that menu, you can add a caption to the top of the table.
To select a cell, press it once.
To edit the contents of the cell (for example, to add content or to correct a spelling error), double press in the cell. Or you can select the cell and then press Return. To end your editing of a cell, just press elsewhere.
	You can add or delete a column or a row.
You can merge cells: Select them, then from the Table menu, press on "Merge cells".
If you merge cells, only the text in one cell is kept; any text in the other cells is deleted when you merge the cells. If you decide that you wanted some or all of the text that was deleted, use the Undo button, move or copy the text you want, then merge the cells again.
You can also split cells that were previously merged. All the content that was in the merged cell will remain in the first cell when you do the split. You can then cut and paste text to other cells, if you want.

In most cases, the existing items can be edited, but new ones cannot be inserted in the visual editor. Until they are fully supported, you can copy an existing one from another page, or edit the source wikitext directly.

Switching between the visual and wikitext editors

To switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor, press the [[ ]] button on the far right of the toolbar.
If you've done any editing, you'll be asked whether you want to keep your changes. Normally you'll press on "Keep changes".

You can also switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor. To do that, press the pencil icon on the far right of the toolbar.
After you press the pencil icon, if you've done any editing you'll be asked whether you want to keep your changes. If you press "Keep changes", you'll go to the visual editor. If you press "Discard changes", you'll be asked to confirm that is what you want to do (press on "Leave Page" to confirm) before the visual editor will start.
