+Chat Commands
+-------------
+WorldEdit is accessed in-game through an interface. By default, the mod distribution includes a chat interface for this purpose. It is documented in the [Chat Commands Reference](Chat Commands.md).
- //metaload some random filename
- //metaload huge_base
+If visual manipulation of nodes is desired, the [WorldEdit GUI](http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3112) mod provides a simple interface with buttons and text entry fields for this purpose.
WorldEdit API
-------------
-WorldEdit exposes all significant functionality in a simple interface. Adding WorldEdit to the file "depends.txt" in your mod gives you access to all of the `worldedit` functions. These are useful if you're looking for high-performance node manipulation without all the hassle of writing tons of code.
-
-### worldedit.volume(pos1, pos2)
-
-Determines the volume of the region defined by positions `pos1` and `pos2`.
-
-Returns the volume.
-
-### worldedit.set(pos1, pos2, nodename)
-
-Sets a region defined by positions `pos1` and `pos2` to `nodename`. To clear to region, use "air" as the value of `nodename`.
-
-Returns the number of nodes set.
-
-### worldedit.replace(pos1, pos2, searchnode, replacenode)
-
-Replaces all instances of `searchnode` with `replacenode` in a region defined by positions `pos1` and `pos2`.

-
-Returns the number of nodes deserialized.
-
-### worldedit.deserialize_old(originpos, value)
-
-Loads the nodes represented by string `value` at position `originpos`, using the older table-based WorldEdit format.
-
-This function is deprecated, and should not be used unless there is a need to support legacy WorldEdit save files.
-
-Returns the number of nodes deserialized.
-
-### worldedit.metasave(pos1, pos2, file)
-

+WorldEdit exposes all significant functionality in a simple interface. Adding WorldEdit to the file "depends.txt" in your mod gives you access to all of the `worldedit` functions. The API is useful for tasks such as high-performance node manipulation, alternative interfaces, and map creation.
-Returns the number of nodes loaded
+This API is documented in the [WorldEdit API Reference](WorldEdit API.md).
