Page Editing

Names of pages have to LookLikeThis. It's called a WikiName. If you write a word that LooksLikeThis, it will be automatically turned into a link. More details about this you find on HelpForBeginners. (If you want to avoid this in any instance you should write !NameNotToBeInterpetedAsAWikiName with an exclamation mark at the front to see the word NameNotToBeInterpetedAsAWikiName not interpreted as a link.)

The following pages describe the elements (wiki markup) you can use to get special formatting effects:

• HelpOnFormatting - general text formatting rules

• HelpOnLinking - external hyperlinks and inline images

• HelpOnHeadlines - section headings

• HelpOnRules - horizontal rules

• HelpOnLists - lists and indented sections

• HelpOnTables - tables

• HelpOnSmileys - how to insert a

• HelpOnMacros - system macros

• Variable substitution - which variables are substituted (like @SIG@, @MAILTO@ ...)

• HelpOnParsers - data processing parsers (replaces Processors)

• HelpOnProcessingInstructions - how to influence page formatting

• HelpOnXmlPages - how to store pages with XML content and process them via XSLT

• HelpOnEditLocks - how to behave correctly when edit locking is activated

• HelpOnCategories - how to group wiki pages

• /SubPages - how to group together related information

To experiment with wiki markup, go to the WikiSandBox and then click on "EditText" at the bottom of the page. Use your browser's "open a new window with this link" feature on the word "WikiSandBox", so you can keep the help pages open side-by-side to the editing window.
