Change the Syntax when Editing
Last modified by Eleni Cojocariu on 2025/07/10
Steps
To choose the Syntax for the current Page when editing with the Wiki editor or with the WYSIWYG Standalone editorĀ :
- Select the content Syntax you want to use from the "Page Syntax" section inside the "Page Information" Panel.
Convert the content to the new Syntax:
- Automatically, by clicking "Yes". If you choose this, you also need to check for conversion errors.
- Manually, by clicking "No".
- Save the modifications (or discard them) using the Realtime edit actions.
FAQ
Why can I choose only a single Syntax?
By default, only the latest XWiki Syntax is enabled, and thus you might see only a single entry in the Syntax dropdown. If your administrator has configured other Syntaxes, then you'll see more options and you can choose what Syntax you want to use for writing the content of a Page.
