This page describes how and when to upload PDF files to the Manifold Atlas.

1 When and why to upload PDF files

  • You may upload PDF files when:
    • you need a more mathematically sophisticated layout than the Atlas supports.
    • you wish to give a longer argument or calculation for a statement not already in the literature.
  • Uploading PDF files allow users to contribute authored, original content to open-editing pages.
  • Users are encouraged, e. g. to write computations of invariants, new proofs of existing results and even truly new work.
  • Please provide your name and institutional address (if applicable) in the PDF file in order to be cited properly.

2 How to upload PDF files

  • Make sure the PDF file is ready on your local computer.
  • Insert a link into the page you are writing of the form
[[Media:Filename.pdf|link text]]
  • The filename need not coincide with the filename on your local computer: it is the name the uploaded file in the Manifold Atlas.
  • The link will appear in red on the page.
  • Click the link: you are presented with form where you can upload the PDF file from your local computer.
  • Once you have uploaded a file to the Manifold Atlas, subsequent clicks on the link will open the PDF document for viewing.
