EDT:How to Create/Edit Wiki pages
Revision as of 19:03, 24 January 2012 by Margolis.us.ibm.com (Talk | contribs)
To create a new page:
- Enter a new URL in your browser and include the "EDT:" prefix. For example, wiki.eclipse.org/EDT:MyNewPage.
You'll be told that there's no text in the page. Click on the Edit this page link or the Edit tab.
- Using the Wikitext editor (click on Wikitext in the toolbar), place this line at the bottom of your page (with double brackets)
[[Category:EDT]]
The category may not display correctly until you save your work.
Marking the page causes includes your contribution on the Category:EDT page. This way we can make sure pages are appropriately included in the sidebar navigation of the wiki.
To include code snippets:
You can set code examples to monospace by clicking WikiText and then using the following tags:
- For inline examples such as
x = y
, use this tagging:
such as <code>x = y</code>
- For larger examples, use this tagging:
<pre>
x = y;
y = z;
</pre>
You can spend a lot of trying to create complex formatting, but the wiki is imperfect. For example, you cannot create multiple lines of code under a bullet or number (or at least not easily), and it seems impossible to create multiple lines of code under a second-level bullet.
