How To Wiki

EasyCampus's wiki is based on ErfurtWiki, which is an implementation of the WikiWikiWeb hypertext system. It allows simple collaborative editing and creation of web pages.

learn how to CreatePages
just click on or select "Edit this page" from the drop down menu to change the contents of a page
you can format your pages with Wiki Markup, or with HTML (if the wiki has been given that option)
SearchPages or go to the list of NewestPages
there are also lists of the MostVisitedPages, MostOftenChangedPages and recently UpdatedPages

Create Pages:

You create a page by naming it in the text of an existing page. A wiki page is named using CamelCase or by enclosing it in square brackets ( [] ).

For example:

MyWikiPage (Camel Case)
[My Wiki Page] (enclosed in square brackets)

Text that has been given a wiki page name will have a '?' after it. Clicking on the '?', will enter edit mode for that page. Enter your text, save and you have a new wiki page.

Wiki Markup:

If you are using the WYSIWYG HTML editor with ordinary word-processor style controls, then you should use those controls to format your entry. Otherwise (when the edit box is just a normal text box with no special controls) you can use the following wiki markup. These features do not apply when using the WYSIWYG editor.

Paragraphs

separate paragraphs inside the text with empty lines
use three percent signs %%% to enforce a line break
if you prepend text with spaces or tabs it will get indented

!! Headlines

use an exclamation mark ! at the beginning of a line to create a small headline
!! for medium
!!! for large headlines

text style

if you want to emphasize text enclose it in two single-quotes '' (usually looks italic)
text gets bold with two underscores __ (or if enclosed with two asterisks **)
to make text big enclose it in hash characters ##
you can get smaller text using "µµ" likewise
a typewrite like font will be used if you enclose text in two equal == signs

Lists

start a line with an asterisk * to begin a list
use # instead for numerated lists
1. you can create sublists
2. subsequent list points should start with the same mix of * and #

HyperLinks

just enter a CamelCase WikiWord inside your text to create a new HyperLink
or, enclose some words in square brackets to create a HyperLink
any valid internet address (starting with http://) like http://www.example.com/ inside the text will be made clickable automatically
enclose a www address or a WikiLink inside square brackets [Educadium] and assign it a neat title using quotation marks or the | character
- [title | http://example.com]
- [WikiWord "title"] or ["title for" WikiLink]
if you don't want a WikiWord or a !http://www-address (or [anything] inside square brackets) to become a HyperLink then just prepend it with a exclamation mark or a tilde
- !NoHyperLink, ~NoHyperLink
- ![no hyperlink], !!http://nolink.org/

Tables with |

just enclose	things with the dash	character
to build a	table structure
browsers usually	leave out the missing	cells

Please always put an empty line before and after a table, so it stands out from other text in its own paragraph.

Pictures

to include an image into a page enclose its absolute www-address in square brackets, like [http://www.example.com/pics/image.png]
alternatively you could use the ImageUploading function
