This page collects some simple but useful tips about the Wiki syntax. The MediaWiki Handbook is a good reference for the wiki software: see especially the section for editors.
Contents |
1 Links
You create hyperlinks inside the Manifold Atlas by writing [[page name|link text]]. For example
[[Surfaces|2-dimensional manifold]]
produces the link 2-dimensional manifold.
If you wish to link to a Wikipedia page, use the above format with the page name: Wikipedia:page name. For example
[[Wikipedia:Differentiable_manifold|smooth manifold]]
produces the link smooth manifold.
1.1 Links to sections and subsections
You can refine your hyperlinks to sections and even subsections of web-pages. For example
[[Simply-connected 5-manifolds#Invariants|linking form]]
produces the link linking form, which goes directly to the Invariants section of the page on simply-connected 5-manifolds.
1.2 External links
For a general web address, insert the entire URL in the address field and seperate the link text simply with a space. For example
[http://www.him.uni-bonn.de/kreck homepage]
produces the link homepage.
2 Comments
You can comment out text simply by placing it within <!-- ... -->. For example:
<!-- This text would not appear on the page. -->
3 Bold face
To obtain bold face, place text or links inside three single quotation marks: ''' ... '''. For example
'''bold text''' and a '''[[Hirzebruch surfaces|bold link]]'''
produces bold text and a bold link.
4 Sections and subsections
Sections and subsections are produced using == ... == and === ... ===. For example
==<sectioncount/> Invariants == ===<subsectioncount/> Seiberg-Witten invariants ===
produces an Invariants section with a Seiberg-Witten invariants subsection.
