''The bulk of any page on a wiki consists of text. Plain, ordinary text. This lesson details how to add text to a page, simply and easily.''

Text is nice and simple to add to a wiki page, as there is no fancy markup for it; you just place the text in with the markup and it is rendered as ordinary text, like the stuff you're reading now.

Adding text to a wiki page

 * 1) Browse to the page you want to add text to (e.g. your sandbox)
 * 2) Click the edit this page link at the top of the page
 * 3) Enter some text in the edit box that is shown, or modify the existing text
 * 4) Add an edit summary, detailing what you just did (e.g. "added some more text about XYZ")
 * 5) Click the save page button to commit your changes

Example
This is some ordinary text

is rendered as

This is some ordinary text.
