Current revision
Contents |
[edit] Basic Wiki Formatting
[edit] Creating New Pages
To create a new page, simply begin by editing a current page and enter the markup to link to the page you want to create. [[Name of page]]. Save the current page and then click on the red link to go directly to the edit mode of the new page.
[edit] 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."
[edit] Sections & Paragraphs
| Sections: using 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 === ==== Sub-sub-sub-section ==== |
| Paragraphs: leave a blank line between paragraphs | Line one Line two |
[edit] 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> | |
| 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> | |
| Citations | Use when you cite another source. | <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. |

[edit] Hidden Comments
You can comment in the wiki the same way you would comment in html. Use when you want to leave comments that can only be seen when editing the page.
<!-- comment here -->
[edit] DLXS Custom Styles
| Style | When to use | Markup | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| future release | [for use by DLXS staff only] Additions about a forthcoming release should just be added to any relevant pages as a new paragraph. Be sure to include the word 'Release_X' (X being the release number) for easy searching and integration when the release is ready. | <div class="release"> '''Release_X:''' Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent velit. </div> | Release_X: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent velit. |
| DLXS staff only note | Use to describe a note, tip or warning for a particular procedure.
Be sure to include the label 'DLXS_Tip', 'DLXS_Warning', or 'DLXS_Note' to make searching for these items easier. For use by U-M DLXS staff only. | <div class="tip">'''DLXS_Tip:''' Make sure you first blah blah blah. </div> | DLXS_Tip: Make sure you first blah blah blah.
|
| note | Use to describe a note or tip for a particular procedure. Use of this style is highly encouraged - especially by DLXS partners. Note the use of tilda (~~~) to indicate author. | <div class="note">'''Note:''' I found that by doing x first blah blah blah. ~~~</div> | Note: I found that by doing x first blah blah blah. Suzchap
|
| workshop | Used by DLXS staff only to indicate that content is applies to the workshop only | <div class="workshop">'''Workshop:''' Go to directory foobar blah blah blah.</div> | Workshop: Go to directory foobar blah blah blah.
|
| Red Text | Make text red so it stands out (usually useful for key elements in a code snippet) | Here's what I have to say about <span class="redtext">this</span> and that's all. | Here's what I have to say about this and that's all. |
| Green Text | Make text green so it stands out (usually useful for key elements in a code snippet) | Here's what I have to say about <span class="greentext">this</span> and that's all. | Here's what I have to say about this and that's all. |
[edit] Templates for page status
There are currently 2 templates that can be applied to any page to signal a page's status.
To assign a template to a page, enter the markup below to the top of the page.
{{WorkInProgress}} will display:
So don't worry if it looks kinda weird.
{{NeedsReview}} will display:
Until it is fully reviewed, it may contain inaccurate or difficult to follow information.
Tip: To find wiki articles that use these templates - use the following URL's:
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:NeedsReview
Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:WorkInProgress
