Soon CEH's wiki will be upgraded to version 4. This includes some major changes, one of which is the Editor. The ability to write wiki markup has been deprecated and users will now make use of a WYSIWIG editor where they can still add wiki mark-up. By incorporate the strengths of wiki markup with the richness and intuitiveness of the WYSIWYG editor gives you a rich, hybrid editing experience. In particular, confluence has introduced options that offer the speed of the old wiki markup editor, via new features such as autocomplete and shortcut keys.
