Revision as of 16:20, 25 November 2010

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 internal hyperlinks by writing [[page name|link text]]. For example 

[[Surface|2-dimensional manifold]]

produces the link 2-dimensional manifold. If you wish to link to a Wikipedia page, use a prefix to the page name: Wikipedia:page name.

1.1 Links to subsections

You can refine your hyperlinks to sections of web-pages. For example 

[[Complete intersections#Invariants|Chern classes]]

produces the link Chern classes to the Invariants section of the Complete intersection page.

1.2 External links

For a general web address, insert the entire URL in the address field. 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 '''[[Complete intersections|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.
