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 [[Page]]s and [[page]] * [[Page#Sub Heading]] same as [[Page#Sub Heading 1= ** You could also link to [[Page#Sub Heading 2]] * [[Page|a sample page]] also works To link to the wider wilder web: * http://udig.refractions.net * [http://udig.refractions.net uDig] * [http://udig.refractions.net] <!-- shows up as [1] --> 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: <code>x = x + 1;</code> although you probably want to break out a pre tag for examples of more then one line. <pre><code> int x = 1; return x--; // does this return 0 or 1? </code></pre> Commonly useful tags are: tt, code, b, sup === Sub Heading === In general: # edit stuff, we need your input ## create an account ## hit the edit links # Provide corrections: #* If you are sure #* If not add your opionion as well,<br> (and sort it out on the talk page) If you sign your work other will know who to talk to,<br> ~~~~ (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: [[Image:gnu-fdl.png|alternate text]] Framed Image: [[Image:gnu-fdl.png|frame|alternate text]]
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:
{|
| cell 1 || cell 2
|-
| cell 3
| cell 4
|}
You can get a bit more complicated:
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=green style="width:75%"
|+ caption
! header 1
! header 2
|-
| data1
| style="background:blue; color=yellow" | data2
|}
