This page describes how and when to upload PDF files to the Manifold Atlas.
1 When and why to upload PDF files
- You should upload PDF files when:
- you need a more mathematically sophisticated layout than the Atlas supports,
- you wish to give a calculation or an agrument for a statement not already in the literature,
- you wish to give a new calculation or argument for a statement already in the literature.
- Uploading PDF files allow users to contribute authored, original content to open-editing pages.
- Users are encouraged, e. g. to provide new computations of invariants, new proofs of existing results and even new results.
- 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.
- To replace the file with a newer version,
- type http://www.map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/File:Filename.pdf in your browser's address bar.
- This presents you with a page listings all revisions of this file and lets you upload a new revision.
