[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. |

|
| Image w/custom alt text & floated to write | [[Image:MLibrary20_tiny.jpg|right|The MLibrary2.0 logo]] Here is the MLibrary2.0 logo floated to the right, if you put code for the image before the text, the text should be on the left side of the image and then wrap below the image something like this. | |
