(DRAFT! a work in progress)


Contents

Basics

Page Titles

For consistency, major words in all page titles should be in capital letters.

Pages pertaining to specific classes should include that class in their page title. Ex. “Mounting the Collection Online” should be "Mounting the Text Class Collection Online."

Sections & Paragraphs

! ! !
Sections: having at four or more headers on a page will create a table of contents (TOC) to appear in front of the first header. 
= Section =

== Sub-section ==

=== Sub-sub-section ===

Text Formatting

Style When to use Markup Example
Bold '''Bold text''' Bold text
Italic ''Italicized text'' Italicized text
Bold & Italic '''''Italicized & Bold text''''' Italicized & Bold text
Inline code Use when displaying in line code (code embedded in other text) and names of scripts This is a sentence with <code>a bit of code</code> in it. This is a sentence with a bit of code in it.
Blocks of code Use when you want to display large blocks of code and keep original formatting. <code> should always go outside <pre> <code><pre><ul> <li class="list">list item 1</li> <li class="list">list item 2</li> </ul></pre></code> 
<ul>
  <li class="list">list item 1</li>
  <li class="list">list item 2</li>
</ul>
Keep original formatting of text (not for code) Use when displaying non-code text that you want to set apart from rest of text. (This can also be done with leading spaces, but is not recommended). <pre>lorem ipsum</pre> 
lorem 
     ipsum
Show wiki markup Use when you need to display code that is used by the wiki. <nowiki><markup>lorem ipsum</markup></nowiki> <markup>lorem ipsum</markup>
strikethrough Use when you want to indicate that something no longer applies, but don't want to delete it yet. <strikethrough>lorem ipsum</strikethrough> lorem ipsum
Citations Use when you need to display code that is used by the wiki <cite>lorem ipsum</cite> lorem ipsum
block quote For a long citation (not for code) that you want indented. |<blockquote>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer eget sapien eu libero porttitor eleifend. Mauris ornare nunc a ligula. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos.</blockquote>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer eget sapien eu libero porttitor eleifend. Mauris ornare nunc a ligula. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos.
