Confluence has had a lot of changes since it first began; when it first started, it was almost all editing in HTML, and fighting with it to get the styling just right as well as the content. Now, Confluence has included buttons on the Edit interface to make sure editors have all of the functionality that they need in order to create all of the items in a tutorial. 

If you are interested in a more in depth discussion of editing the website, please see the “Editing in HTML” portion in the Additional Resources page.
