Once you are logged in with your username you can edit any page of this wiki. To edit a whole page you click on “edit” on the top of the page or on the small pen icons if you want to edit sections of the page.<br /> | |||
This page explains the syntax you may use to format your edits. | |||
This wiki runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki], the same software Wikipedia is using. This is why the syntax may be familiar to you if you have edited Wikipedia before. | |||

=== Text formatting markup === | |||
'''This is just a short help reference. Find the full version [http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Formatting here].''' | |||
You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two single quotes like <tt> | |||
<nowiki>''this''</nowiki> </tt> | |||
{| align="center" {{Prettytable}} | |||
|- | |||

| | |||

<nowiki>=level 1=</nowiki> </tt><ref>Use of a level 1 heading is '''''highly discouraged''''' as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.</ref><br /> | |||

=== Paragraphs === | |||
MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the XHTML tag <tt> | |||
<nowiki><br /></nowiki> </tt>. | |||
=== HTML & Sourcecode === | |||
Some [[HTML]] tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tt><div></tt>, <tt><span></tt> and <tt><font> </tt>. | |||
<tt><syntaxhighlight;</tt> supports Syntax Coloring. You can also specify a language, eg. <tt><syntaxhighlight lang="C" line start="55" highlight="4"></tt> : | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="c" line start="55" highlight="4"> | |||
// Global variable | |||
int x = 7; | |||
int myFunction(int a) { | |||
// Local variable | |||
int b = 8; | |||
return (a + b); | |||
} | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Please see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi MediaWiki GeSHi Page] for detailed information to use some of the parameters: | |||
* lang="xyz": ''defines the language'', eg. "c", "php", ... | |||
* line: ''show line numbering'' | |||
* line start="55": ''first line is labeled #55'' | |||
* hilight="4'': ''hilights line #4'' | |||
