Signing your name in talk pages (using ~~~~)

You should sign your comments by appending four tildes to the comment, which adds your user name plus date/time.

User4 13:44, 22 March 2014 (GMT)

<a href="/wiki/Special:MyPage" title="Special:MyPage">Username</a> (<a href="/wiki/Special:MyTalk" title="Special:MyTalk">talk</a>) 11:35, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Adding three tildes will add just your user name.

User4

<a href="/wiki/Special:MyPage" title="Special:MyPage">Username</a> (<a href="/wiki/Special:MyTalk" title="Special:MyTalk">talk</a>)

Adding five tildes gives the date/time alone.

13:44, 22 March 2014 (GMT)

11:35, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

If you don't know how to - or have problems - typing a tilde character on your keyboard, you can copy (then paste) the tildes from here, to use in talk pages:

~~~ (just your user name)
~~~~ (your user name plus date/time)
~~~~~ (just the date/time)

You may be able to use the number pad to type the tilde.

Press and hold down the left ALT key, then type 126 on the number pad, then release the ALT key. The tilde should appear where the cursor is.

More info on ALT keys character entry is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code

More available symbols may be found here:

http://www.alt-codes.net/

ALSO: **** DOES NOT WORK ****

Character references that are based on the referenced character's UCS or Unicode code point are called numeric character references. In HTML 4 and in all versions of XHTML and XML, the code point can be expressed either as a decimal (base 10) number or as a hexadecimal (base 16) number. The syntax is as follows:

Character U+0026 (ampersand), followed by character U+0023 (number sign), followed by one of the following choices:

  • one or more decimal digits zero (U+0030) through nine (U+0039); or
  • character U+0078 ("x") followed by one or more hexadecimal digits, which are zero (U+0030) through nine (U+0039), Latin capital letter A (U+0041) through F (U+0046), and Latin small letter a (U+0061) through f (U+0066);

all followed by character U+003B (semicolon). Older versions of HTML disallowed the hexadecimal syntax.

Make a word italic (using '')

To italicize text, just put 2 apostrophes - '' - on each side.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK BUT DOES NOT: '

''This will appear italicized when displayed.''

See "cautions using bold and italics"

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Make a word bold (using ''')

3 apostrophes on each side will bold the text

'''This will appear in bold.'''

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Make a word bold and italic (using ''''')

5 apostrophes on each side makes text appear in bold italics

'''''This will appear in bold and italics.'''''

Cautions on using bold and italics

Italic and bold formatting only works correctly within a single line. If you start bold or italics on one line, then press "Enter" for a new line, you must again put the bold or italics markup for the text on the second line (the correct number of apostrophes).

Markup such as bold or italics will be terminated at a line break (You must put the bold/italic markup again on the text of a new line).

The following is incorrect markup:

'''''This will be in bold 
and italics.'''''

And will give this result:

This will be in bold and italics.

The following is incorrect markup:

'''''This will be in bold 

and italics.'''''

And will give this result:

The following is correct markup:

'''''This will be in bold '''''

'''''and italics.'''''

MUST CODE THE FOLLOWING SO DISPLAYS IN HELP FILE

For text as small caps, that uses a template. ???

Use small text if needed.

Better not use big text, unless it's within small text

A span tag can set text font-size as being 87% of prior size, to match an image caption.

Separating lines of text

Line breaks or newlines are used to add whitespace between lines, such as separating paragraphs.

A line break that is visible in the content is inserted by pressing the "Enter" key twice.

Pressing "Enter" only once will place a line break (and put the text on a new line) in the markup, but it will not show in the display in the wiki (there will not be a line break in the actual wiki text), except when using list markup (making lists using ????.

Markup such as bold or italics will be terminated at a line break (You must put the bold/italic markup again on the text of a new line).

Template:Break adds multiple line breaks ???.

Template:Crlf2 adds a true carriage return and line feed.


adds a break with styling to clear floating elements. WTF???

The MediaWiki software suppresses single newlines and converts lines starting with a space to preformatted text in a dashed box. HTML suppresses multiple spaces. It is often desirable to retain these elements for poems, lyrics, mottoes, oaths and the like. The Poem extension adds HTML-like Template:Tag tags to maintain newlines and spaces. These tags may be used inside other tags such as Template:Tag. CSS styles may be applied to this tag, e.g.: <poem style="margin-left: 2em;">.

</poem>

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Making text appear like "source code" or "monospace text" (using <code>)

use <code> and </code> to produce text with no formatting, similar to what is seen in computer coding. It is also called "monospace text".

function <code>int m2()</code> is very useful sometimes.

... will display:

function int m2() is very useful sometimes.

The "int m2()" above is in monospace text, as you can see in the example box above.

The <pre> markup tag also produces monospace text in the display.

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Create a section heading (using "=")

One or more equal signs ("=") are used to create headings.

A single "=" is used only for the main article heading and should not be used within an article.

The line above which says "Create a section heading (using "=")" is an example of a section heading.

The heading above was created with this markup:

==Create a section heading (using "=")==

You may create further sub-headings by using multiple "=" signs as follows:

==Create a section heading within an article==
===Create a section sub-heading within an article===
====Create another section sub-heading within an article====

Section headings may be automatically used to create a table of contents (TOC) for an article.

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Centering text (using <center>)

You may use the .HTML markup to center text.

<center> TEXT TO CENTER </center>

... will give you the following:

TEXT TO CENTER

WE HAVE NO CENTER TEMPLATE????

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Align text to right

DO WE USE/NEED THIS???

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Make a list

CHECK IF THIS IS CORRECT Warning: when you use # inside headers, the first level won't be numbered. The source mentions this 'looks stupid'.

Normal/Unordered lists (using * )

A simple list can be created by putting one or more asterisks (*) at the beginning of each item.

This is equivalent to using "<li>".

eg

* bullet list item
* bullet list item
* bullet list item

... will give you:

  • bullet list item
  • bullet list item
  • bullet list item

List items may be indented by using more than one asterisks as follows:

* bullet list item
** indented bullet list two
** indented bullet list three

... will give you:

  • bullet list item
    • indented bullet list two
    • indented bullet list three
* bullet list item
** indented bullet list two
*** indented bullet list three
** indented bullet list three

... will give you:

  • bullet list item
    • indented bullet list two
      • indented bullet list three
    • indented bullet list three


See "cautions on making lists".

^ BACK TO CONTENTS


Numbered/Ordered list (using # )

A simple numbered list can be created by putting one or more "hash marks" (#) at the beginning of each item.

# numbered list
# numbered list
## indented list
## indented list
### depth 3 indented list
### more
## and more
# and more

... will give you:

  1. numbered list
  2. numbered list
    1. indented list
    2. indented list
      1. depth 3 indented list
      2. more
    3. and more
  3. and more

---

Normally, it is not possible to continue the numbering sequence after an included bulleted list. You can force numbered lists to continue the numbering sequence after an included bulleted list this way:

Example - You want this:

 1. Blah
 2. Blah blah
    * snark
    * snack
 3. Blorp

... BUT you get this:

  1. Blah
  2. Blah blah
  • snark
  • snack
  1. Blorp

You can "fake" it by using the following:

#Blah
#Blah blah<br>* snark<br>* snack
#Blorp

... and you get this:

  1. Blah
  2. Blah blah
    * snark
    * snack
  3. Blorp


Here is a more complex example of the above.

You want this:

  1. item one
  2. item two
    1. indented item
    2. indented item two
      * bulleted entry
      * bulleted entry
  3. item three
  4. item four
  5. item five

... BUT you get this:

  1. item one
  2. item two
    1. indented item
    2. indented item
  • bulleted non-numbered item
  • bulleted non-numbered item
  1. more
  2. and more
  3. and more


You can "fake" it by using <br>, as in the following:

# item one
# item one
# item two
## indented item
## indented item<br>* bulleted non-numbered item<br>* bulleted non-numbered item
# more
# and more
# and more

... and you get this:

  1. item one
  2. item two
    1. indented item
    2. indented item
      * bulleted non-numbered item
      * bulleted non-numbered item
  3. more
  4. and more
  5. and more


NOTE: You can also insert a), b) or i), ii), etc. into a list the same way:

# item one
# item two
## indented item
## indented item<br>a) item<br>b) another item<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) stuff<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii) more 
# more
# and more
# and more

... and get this:

  1. item one
  2. item two
    1. indented item
    2. indented item
      a) item
      b) another item
           i) stuff
           ii) more
  3. more
  4. and more
  5. and more

Cautions on making lists".

Do not leave blank lines between items in a list unless there is a reason to do so, since this causes the MediaWiki software to interpret each item as beginning a new list.

To list terms and definitions (using ; then : )

To list terms and definitions, start a new line with a semicolon (;) followed by the term. Then, type a colon (:) followed by a definition.

Definition lists consist of group names corresponding to values. Group names (terms) are in bold. Values (definitions) are indented. Each group must include one or more definitions. For a single or first value, the : can be placed on the same line after ; – but subsequent values must be placed on separate lines.

Examples:

;Term to be defined:Definition of the term
Term to be defined
Definition of the term
;Verse:Spring has sprung,
:Fall has fell.
:Summer's here,
:and it's hotter than usual...
Verse
Spring has sprung,
Fall has fell.
Summer's here,
and it's hotter than usual...


NOT SURE WHAT USE THE ABOVE IS???

Making a "blockquote" (indenting a section of text using <blockquote>)

There are several ways to indent text. You may wish to indent a block of text.

You may use the <blockquote> tag:

<blockquote> TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED </BLOCKQUOTE>

This will give you:

TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED TEXT TO BE INDENTED

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

Making a "blockquote" (indenting a section of text using the <poem> tag

You may also use the <poem> tag to indent text.

<poem style="margin-left:2em;">Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
he couldn't believe his eyes!</poem>

Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
he couldn't believe his eyes!

You may adjust the amount of indent by changing the "margin-left:" in the above.

For example, by changing the "margin-left:2em" to "margin-left:6em" in the following:

<poem style="margin-left:6em;">Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
he couldn't believe his eyes!</poem>

... you get:

Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was surprised.
But when Old MacDonald had a farm,
he couldn't believe his eyes!

Indent a single line (using : )

This may be done by using colons.

HOW TO MAKE A LINK FOR THIS??? See: What a colon (:) does at the beginning of a line

You may also use a series of "&nbsp;" at the beginning of a line to form an indented line.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This line is indented using &nbsp;, but a colon is preferable.

Put a horizontal line (a "rule")

In HTML markup, <hr><nowiki> will put a ruled line across the page. But in wiki markup, the horizontal rule represents a paragraph-level thematic break. So ''do not'' use in a horizontal line in article content. '''[[#contents|^ BACK TO CONTENTS]]''' ==Make a TOC (table of contents) (using <nowiki>__TOC__)==

Use __TOC__ to automatically create a table of contents.

Turning off wiki markup

Using (using <nowiki>)

<nowiki></nowiki>

... can be used to "turn off" then "turn on" wiki markup.

NEEDS EXAMPLES

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

using <pre>

<pre>

"<pre>" stands for "preformatted text".

Using the <pre> tag can "turn off" the wiki markup, and put the text in a dotted box.

Warning: The text, if longer than a normal line, will extend beyond the right margin, and will not be "wrapped" at the normal page margin. This will cause the margin of the page to be very wide.

NEEDS EXAMPLES

^ BACK TO CONTENTS

What is a "non-breaking space" and when to use it (using &nbsp;)

You can include a non-breaking space (sometimes called non-printing character) if you want two words to always appear together on the same line, such as Mr. Smith or 400 km/h, using   instead of a regular space between the two "words" that need to be always kept together, and never be separated on different lines.

Using the following:

Mr.&nbsp;Smith

... the two words "Mr." and "Smith" will never have the "Mr." at the end of one line, and the "Smith" on the start of the next line. They will always stay together.

Mr.&nbsp;Smith

Mr. Smith

400&nbsp;km/h

400 km/h

You may also use a series of <nbsp> at the beginning of a line to indent the line.

MUST PUT LINK See: Indent a single line

Why wiki markup is preferred to HTML markup in wikis

  • Consistency - all editors use the same style of mark-up.
  • The raw source for editing looks "cleaner".
  • It forces people who have spent years learning and practicing HTML markup to spend even more time learning a new mark-up language, which slows them down considerably.
  • An easy-to-use - and also free - on-line converter is unnecessary to use to convert HTML to wiki markup.
  • A very few HTML commands could be used as "exploits" (but this is easily protected against, and any good sysadmin will have done this already of necessity).
  • Some sysadmin are just jerks. ;- )
