New page

To be able to edit a wiki, you have to log in first.

Click the "Edit" button at the top to edit the entire page. After editing, click on "save page" at the bottom.

Copy and paste is the best way to learn :) Edit a section below and paste it into an edit window and then change it.

= Adding Text =

The text just comes out as it is.
If you don't have a blank line in between it will show up as a paragraph.

Note that the table of contents shows up automatically, no need to add it.

This is how to <b>emphasize</b>, this is how you do <i>italics</i>.

= Sections and subsections =

They are marked by a title surrounded by one or more "=".

== Subsection ==

This is a subsection.

=== Sub-subsection ===

A sub-subsection.

= Lists =

Itemized:

* something
* something else

Enumerated:

# one
# two
# three

= Links =

An external link to [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia].

An internal link [[Main_Page | to this wiki's main page]]. Just put the page title with underscores instead of spaces.

= Creating a new page =

Just create an internal link in an existing page that simply has the [[new page title]], save that edit. When you click on it, that creates the new page and you can edit it (sometimes you have to click on the "Create" button at the top).

Another way to create a new page is to type the title you want to give it into the "Search" box, the wiki will show you where to click to create it.

= Uploading Files =

For example, a graphic:

# Create a link to it in the place where you want it by putting [[Image:MyFile.jpeg|Graphic]], save the edit.
# Click the link, and it will ask you to upload the file.
# The graphic will show up in the place where you put it: [[Image:MyFile.jpeg|Graphic]].
# If you want to upload a new version, click on that link and there is a place where it asks you to upload a new version.
