Help:Editing

Quick Start
Welcome to the wonderful world of wiki, the benefit is that you can edit the page (and fix my spelling mistakes).

Here is a brutal quickstart because I am sick of clicking on the links below:

Heading
You can type things pretty much as you would expect and the paragraph will flow from line to line. Leaving a blank line will start a new papgraph.

When typing you can emphasze text, to make a point, but that stops being fun after a while.

Sub Heading
One of the fun parts of a wiki is linking:
 * Page link
 * Same thing as Pages and page
 * Page same as [[Page#Sub Heading 1=
 * You could also link to Page
 * a sample page also works

To link to the wider wilder web:
 * http://udig.refractions.net
 * uDig
 * 

Remember:
 * You can create a link to a page that does not exist yet

Where:
 * page link : can be clicked to jump to a page
 * external link
 * will take you to another web page

Sub Heading
Hacking with html is mostly allowed - here is a code example: although you probably want to break out a pre tag for examples of more then one line.

&lt;pre&gt; &lt;/pre&gt;

Commonly useful tags are: tt, code, b, sup

Sub Heading
In general: (and sort it out on the talk page)
 * 1) edit stuff, we need your input
 * 2) create an account
 * 3) hit the edit links
 * 4) Provide corrections:
 * 5) * If you are sure
 * 6) * If not add your opionion as well,

If you sign your work other will know who to talk to, ~ (ie Jody Garnett and Date)

That should be enough to cause some damage. Jive 11:03, 31 March 2006 (CEST)

Advanced Wiki Mojo (Images and Tables)
First of all show me a picture: Internal Image: Framed Image: I am not sure yet how you can upload images or link to external images - follow the links and report back:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Extended_image_syntax

And now for tables:

You can get a bit more complicated:
