Just use your favorite Web browser to navigate to a Wiki page and view it. The page can be edited directly in the Web browser. There is no need of a separate text editor. You must first register and log on before editing pages.

We recommend you use Firefox 1.0.7 or above. Firefox is an excellent Web browser. It is free and available for almost all existing platforms (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Unix). In addition, it is natively 100% compatible will all Wiki pages formattings in this site, including MathML equations. Take care that additional fonts are often required for Mozilla engines to display MathML equations correctly. Everything is explained at this page, and there is a link to free font installers for various platforms.

Internet Explorer 6 or above can also be used (do not use an older version). It requires an additional MathPlayer component to display MathML equations correctly.

Netscape 7 or above is also fine.

A search box is included at the top right of any R Wiki page. Romain François made a R Wiki search plugin for Firefox. You can install it from here. On some Firefox versions, you need to restart before the plugin works correctly.

There is also the Firefox extension for R Site Search that can dig inside the wiki since version 1.0.1. (2006/08/29)
