Commands for editing
Here is a list of the most commonly used wiki commands:
Links
Internal Link - [[page name]]
- this is case sensitive
External link - [http:www.dsc.com]
Internal Link (with different text) – [[page name|text]]
This will display ‘text’ while linking to ‘page name’.
Create a Redirect page - #REDIRECT [[pagename]]
- No text may precede this
You can also redirect to a section of a page like this:
#REDIRECT [[pagename#sectionname]] *this also works for normal internal links
Images
To just embed an image – [[Image:picturename.JPG]]
There are other modifiers you may use as well to make the image smaller/bigger, make it a thumbnail, frame it, caption it, etc.
Most commonly used is to make the image a smaller thumbnail, right justified and add a caption:
[[image:picturename.JPG|300px|thumb|right|CAPTION]]
- Note all parameters are lower case.
- 300px is the standard thumbnail size for now
Other parameters include:
frame – put a frame around an image (thumb already does this; a caption will only be visible if frame or thumb are used)
300px – makes the image 300 pixels high, to scale (this can be used with any value, but the wiki will only shrink images, you cannot enlarge them).
right/left/center – changes the image justification
Sections
The page will automatically create a table of contents once there is more than three sections on the page.
To create a subsection - == section name ==
To create a Sub-subsection - ===section name=== and so on…
