The page will present the basic editing commands for entering content into the wiki.

Headings

Headings are handled using equals signs. Headings are accomplished like so:

  • =Top Heading=
  • ==Sub Heading==
  • ===Sub Sub Heading===

Using these commands also creates a table of contents for the page, that will be shown at the top of the page, or whereever you enter the __TOC__ keyword.

Links

Links can only be inserted using the wiki code. There are different types of links: internal and external. Internal links refer to other parts of the wiki (pages, images, files, etc.) and external links refer to links to pages elsewhere on the web.

Here are some examples:

  • Internal
    • To another page : [[Page Name]]
    • Using different text : [[Page Name|Page Description]] - the 2nd part is displayed instead.
    • To images, etc. : [[media:filename.end|Description]]
  • External
    • To a website : [http://www.cnn.com]
    • With description : [http://www.cnn.com CNN Homepage]
