+   As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
+   and outputs the files to a destination directory.  If you keep your wiki in
+   a version control system, the source directory will contain a working copy
+   checked out from the version control system.
 
    For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll set shell variables
    for these locations, and use those variables in the commands that follow.
 
-		SRCDIR=~/wikiwc
-		DESTDIR=~/public_html/wiki/
+			SRCDIR=~/wikiwc
+			DESTDIR=~/public_html/wiki/
+
+   Note that ikiwiki owns the working copy directory; do not perform your own
+   edits in ikiwiki's working copy.
 
 3. Create the beginnings of your wiki.
 
    This will create a simple main page for the wiki.
 
-   		mkdir $SRCDIR
-		cd $SRCDIR
-		$EDITOR index.mdwn
-
-   In the editor, you could start by entering a simple page like this one:
-
-		Welcome to your new wiki.
-
-		All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does too.

-		----
-
-		This wiki is powered by [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net).
