# The Epicurus College Wiki

## Introduction 

The Epicurus College Wiki is the place where EpicureanFriends.com is developing a basic curriculum for teaching Epicurean philosophy.

## Key Editing Tips

This wiki is prepared using Dokuwiki, which is a very simple wiki system which does not require a database or complicated tools.  This simplicity means that a student of Epicurus can make a personal duplicate of this wiki and set it up in a new location just by copying and moving the files.  A regular backup of all the files for download can be found [[here]].  In order to allow the text to look good on the largest number of devices, editing should be done where possible using the "markdown" system.  Basic markeddown editing is described "[here](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/)", and more sophisticated options like footnotes and tables are explained [here](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax). For example, here's a simple footnote,[^1]. If you log in and are given editing privileges, each page can be edited very easily.

[^1]: This is a sample footnote.  It can include text and links.
