How-to-wiki

This page describes some basic issues to wiki.

Commenting: Most users will only have access to this wiki-space to comment. Commenting is done by pressing the button at the right top of the page: +Add shows a scroll down menu where you can press "comment".

Editing: A wiki is a simple and macro oriented language. If you have the apprpriate permissions you can press the edit button. Above the editable text you will see three tabs. "Rich text" will provide you a fairly OK view of what you are doing, but is somewhat limited when using macros. Wiki Markup is simpler but allows quite a lot "programming" When you are in edit mode on the right hand side you will see commands, such as star-sign bold star-sign , which will give bold. Typically, more complex macros require editing in wiki mode.

Macros: Wiki is a macro oriented language. Many macros are installed on the wiki server. For a list of macros you may want to look here. See also 'calender'

Calender: The calender is a simple macro. A macro is inbetween such brackets "{" calendar:id=mycal|title=My Calendar

Voting: The vote macro can be found here here

Templates: You can create a template for a page if several pages require the same structure.

Table of contents: To create a table of contents on a page, the macro is TOC between the 'waved brackets'. The TOC will be developed on the basis of headers on the page.

Children: To create a list of underlying pages to a page you can use the macro 'children' between 'waved brackets'

Include: To incude a page in another page such that it looks in total as one page use include:PAGENAME between 'waved brackets'

Link within page: To hyperlink within a page include at that space anchor:MYNAME between 'waved brackets'. To create a link to this place include Go To #MYNAME where #MYNAME is placed between blocked brackets.

Watch the space: To watch this space you can use RSS or email notification. See left hand side on the following page.

Templates: The easiest way to reuse a similar design for each page is by using a template. The best way is first to create the page, including macros such as the voting macro, and then copy pasting the (wiki-markup) text to a new template. Templates are stored / created here
