Add Pages_Basic

existing

If you want to add something, you can do it in a few different ways. The most obvious way, is by clicking "edit this document" at the top (or bottom) of an existing page. Then add your text into the textfield that appears, and press save if you're ready.

new

New pages can be made by clicking on a brown-red link. A brown-red link indicates that there is at this moment no page known with that name.

The link " ThisPageDoesNotExist " is brown-red if no one made a page with that name. Click on it to get a textfield.

save

By clicking the button "save", your modifications are saved. Preview allows you to see your changes first, before saving them, or changing them further therafter.

Links_Basic

smashing words together

SmashingWordsTogether (with capitals at the beginning of each new word) creates a link.

Actually there has to be at least one non-capital between two capital letters. For example HELLO is not a link while HeLLO is.

these years

Years are automatically found in the text, and linked to the document that is being saved. From this information, which is stored in a database, the "other pages containing these years" overview is generated (can be seen at the right side, below the Menu(List) bar).

It's also possible to click on a year. Then you will get an overview of what pages contain years that are near the specified year. It's also possible to get this overview by providing a year as input in the seach-field.

be alert

All this works automatically. The only thing a use has to take note of, is using the years-syntax correctly.

1929 (4 digits)

4-digit years are analysed automatically. No special actions need to be undertaken.

801 (less than 4 digits)

Years between 1000 BC and AD can be added also. Just add zero's in front (0012 for 12 AD).

Lay Out_Basic

indent

One can indent by adding ":" in front of the line

lists

A line preceded by a "*", makes a list...
- Subheaders are also possible with two or more kleene-stars ("**").

Italics

Put the text that should be displayed in italics between quote marks, as is done with the word Italics above ''the text that should be displayed in italics''

big

With '''the big text''', one can make text Fat

headers

===== Headertext =====
makes a

header

(the more "="'es the bigger... = hardly readable = brings you

hardly readable

piece of tiny text...)

Headers need to be on their own lines. After the last "=" nothing may follow and the first "=" has to be the first character on the line.

underline

Underlining text can be done this way: "__Underlining text can be done this way__"

Transclude_Basic

including

Add "[[Transclude TranCludedPage]]" to "transclude" a page... Very usefull for the creation of a PrinterFriendly version of a summary...

Works also outside, or between sections. Make sure to specify the full name of a page (including the section ) if you especially need that particular page and no other that might be created afterwards within the section in which the page is that you are editing.

included

An example of the usage of the Transclude mechanism is the HowToUse page, and some of it's descendants like the TransClude page.

Printer Friendly_Basic

At last

Some advice: Look how others have done it (with the help of the "edit this page"-link at the bottom), and then try to do it yourself in the SandBox...

If you had problems with something, and if you have discovered how it works in the end (or if you have some advices for your fellow visitord), then you can share it (among other places) here, by adding it to this page, or by adding it to the HelP-section...
