Wiki help
Hey folks!
A new COTS games in education wiki is coming soon. I’m just putting this up to create a page where I’ll add wiki help files. If you are very curious to see what an empty wiki looks like, go ahead and take a peek.
I’m using textile formatting for the wiki. Basically, instead of using HTML (which isn’t very friendly), we are using a way of formatting text.
The best way to learn how to wiki, is to simply register, and then edit a page. You can see the editing I’ve used to make the wiki. Very straight-forward stuff. If you have many more questions, please let me know.
Here’s a list, taken from textile’s site:
Quick block modifiers:
Header: hn.
Blockquote: bq.
Footnote: fnn.
Numeric list: #
Bulleted list: *
Quick phrase modifiers:
_emphasis_
*strong*
??citation??
-deleted text-
+inserted text+
^superscript^
~subscript~
%span%
To apply attributes:
(class)
(#id)
{style}
[language]
To align blocks:
< right
>
left
= center
<> justify
To insert a table:
|a|table|row|
|a|table|row|
To insert a link:
"linktext":url
To insert an image:
!imageurl!
To define an acronym:
ABC(Always Be Closing)
To reference a footnote:
[n]
So, if you wanted something to be strong, you would type it like this: *I want this to be strong*
Pretty easy, huh?
