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.

Hyperlinks
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.
Links to sections and subsections
You can refine your hyperlinks to sections and even subsections of web-pages. For example
[[5-manifolds: 1-connected#Invariants|linking form]]
produces the link linking form, which goes directly to the invariants section of the page on simply-connected 5-manifolds.
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.
- See also the conventions for the external links section.
Open and broken links
If the address part of a link is empty or incorrect you will produce an open or broken hyper link
Writing open links can be helpful.
- It can speeding up writing (come back and fill address later).
- It can indicate pages you would like to see created in the future in the Atlas:
- if you click an open link the Wiki system creates the edit-page for page named by the address in the open link.
Comments
You can comment out text simply by placing it within <!-- ... -->. For example:
<!-- This text would not appear on the page. -->
Bold face and emphasis
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.
You can also emphasise text in a similar way by placing it with in two single quotation marks.
Sections, subsections, etc
- Sections, subsections and subsubsections etc are produced using == ... ==, === ... === and ==== ... ==== etc.
- Make sure that text between section headers is enclosed with the tags <wikitex> ... </wikitex>.
- For example:
==<sectioncount/> Invariants == <wikitex>; TEXT </wikitex> ===<subsectioncount/> Seiberg-Witten invariants === <wikitex>; MORE TEXT </wikitex>
Line breaks
The Wiki syntax is very sensitive to spare line-breaks in contrast to LaTeX which many authors may be used to. You may find that new sections and subsections appear with large spaces either at their beginning or end: if so you will need to hunt down the spare lines causing them and delete them.
