Interwiki and Linking Shortcuts

New page

==Text formatting==

The most text formatting needs can be accessed by use of the editing tool bar. For additional help, see [[mw:Help:Formatting|WikiMedia's Wiki Formatting Help]].

Remember, for special characters use the standard HTML substitutions, i.e. for an ampersand, use '''&amp;''', copyright symbol, '''&copy;'''. See [[HTML Codes for Special ASCII Characters]]

 

===HTML Tags===

The Wiki formatting accepts some HTML tags. The following are some of the more common ones.

Line break - <br /><br />
Non Breaking Space - &nbsp;<br />
Preformatted - <pre><br />
Code - <code><br />

And span and division tags - <span>, <div>

To specify font color, use <pre><span style="color:red"></span></pre>

To center justify, use <pre><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div></pre>

To specify font size, use <pre><span style="font-size:18pt"></span></pre>

To add a comment or to comment out text on the page that will not get rendered on the finished page, enclose it with "" <pre></pre>

 

==Linking==

To link to an SCI Wiki page, <pre>[[Page Name]]</pre>

To link to an SCI Wiki page using a different name add a pipe "¦" after the page name, followed by the text to be used, <pre>[[Page

Name|Different Name]]</pre>

To setup a redirect, use <pre>#REDIRECT [[Page Name]]</pre>

To set a named anchor, use <pre><div id="AnchorName"></div></pre>

Note, Section headings and the top of the page are automatically anchored.

To link to a named anchor on the same page, use <pre>[[#AnchorName]]</pre>

To link to a named anchor with different text, add a "¦", folowed by the text to be used: <pre>[[#AnchorName|text to be used]]</pre>

To link to a named anchor on a different page, use <pre>[[Page Name#AnchorName]]</pre>

To link to another web page, just use the URL. The Wiki software will parse the link.

To link to another web page using a different name, enclose the URL in double brackets, followed by a space, then the name to be used - <pre>

[[http://www.someURL.com/ Link name]]</pre>

To set an email link, use <pre>[mailto:info@example.org email me]</pre>

Mailto named with subject line and body - <pre>[mailto:info@example.org?Subject=URL%20Encoded%20Subject&body=Body%20Text info]</pre>

==Citations and footnotes==

To use an auto citation, insert <pre><ref>Citation to be used</ref></pre> where you want the citation added. Use <pre>==References==
<references/></pre>where you want the citations to appear. If you don't want the References section to appear in the auto contents,

use<pre>;References
<references/></pre>

To use an auto footnote, insert
<pre><ref group=Note>Note here</ref></pre>in the body of the text and<pre>===Notes===
<references group=Note/></pre>where you want the note to appear. Again, if you don't want the Notes section to appear in the auto contents,

use<pre>;Notes
<references group=Note/></pre>

For more help with Citations and footnotes, see the [[w:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(footnotes)/Cite_link_labels|Wikipedia Manual of Style]].

 

==Images==

To insert an image, the file must be uploaded, first. Please contact Collector on the [[SCIPF:|SCI Programming forums]] or the [[SHPF:|Sierra Help Pages Forum]] if you need a file to be uploaded.

The Wiki syntax for inserting an image is as follows:

<pre>[[File:filename.extension|options|caption]]</pre>

where options can be zero or more, separated by pipes (|). These options allow for greater control of the image, like placement and linking. See [[mw:Help:Images#Syntax|this MediaWiki list]] for available options.

See [[mw:Help:Images|this MediaWiki page]] for more help with images.

==Misc==

===Tooltips===

The Balloons extension has been installed. This will allow you to add Tooltips to your entries.

<pre><balloon title="Tooltip example">Mouse over this</balloon></pre>

will give you: ''<balloon title="Tooltip example">Mouse over this</balloon>''.
