Use the rich text editor in Wikis 

Use the rich text editor to create visually interesting blog posts, wiki articles, forum topics, and activity entries.

The rich text editor allows you to enter and format text and insert images and links to create entries in various IBM Connections applications. The features available in the editor depend on the application that you are using and how it is configured. For example, if you are creating a blog entry, you can insert an Adobe™ Flash demo, but this feature is not available in a forum topic. Many of the features are common text editing features. Hover over an icon at the top of the editor for a label describing the feature represented by the item. The following table describes some of the more advanced features available in the editor.
