The Editor Window
Epoz edits HTML pages only, so a user must either edit a pre-existing HTML page (by clicking its edit link) or have permission to create a page and change its type to HTML. Other page types such as Structured Text do not invoke the rich text editor.Epoz uses a cascading stylesheet to create a view allowing data to be entered in a way that closely approximates its presentation on the site. Editing is carried out in the usual way with buttons above the editing field for common formatting tasks. The buttons have "tool tip" explanations that pop up when the cursor hovers over the button.

An optional note can be entered in the text box above
the save/cancel buttons. This may be explanatory of the
edit and will appear as a comment in the list of recent changes
to the site (accessible from the links at the top of the display pages).
Creating New Pages
If a user has permission to create new pages on the server, then a new
linked page can be created from any page by typing a word with internal
capitalization (at least one small letter is required) such as
PageName or by typing a phrase surrounded by square brackets such as
[Page Name]. These will become the title of the new page. When the
user saves changes, the names will be rendered in the page display with
a following question mark. Clicking the question mark opens an editor
(non rich text) to create the page. The page type should be changed to
HTML and the page should be saved. The rich text editor will open the
next time the page is edited.
To suppress automatic page linking (and its little question marks) in settings when a word or bracketed phrase isn't a link--such as those above--an exclamation point can be entered at the start of the word or phrase.
Editing HTML Directly
The user can toggle between the WYSIWYG display and the HTML display by
clicking the tiny box at the bottom left of the editing area. If the
user knows HTML, some operations can be carried out easier or
problems fixed by editing the HTML directly.
