Help:Editing

From True Audio Codec Software

This is a quick tutorial to creating and editing wiki pages quickly. If you prefer, you can go to the MediaWiki editing help.


Contents

Creating a new page

Using the browser address bar to enter a URL to a new page is an easy way to start the new page process. Easier still is editing the pagename part of a URL for an existing page. Using the URL for the new page displays the default "no article" message. If a page with that name already exists, you'll see it. If the page does not already exist, you'll see a blank page on which you can start writing. The default page has the usual "Edit this page" link, which can be used to begin adding content.

Writing page content

Text

Emphasize ''Emphasize''
Emphasize strongly '''Emphasize strongly'''
Emphasize even stronger '''''Emphasize even stronger'''''


New lines

New lines are specifiy by adding a blank line in between text. Consectutive lines of text have no effect on formatting. Alteratively you can add a <br/> tag to force a line break. Please include the slash in there as that is correct XML formatting.

Images

All images have to be uploaded to be used. To link to an image just make an internal link to it like [[Image:Sample_image.png]]. It is recommend that you specify alternate text by adding a piped option like [[Image:Sample_image.png|Sample Image]].


Framed images

You can put the image in a frame with a caption: [[Image:Sample_image.png|frame|Sample Image]].


Thumnbnails

If the images are large, it is really important to use thumbnails. To this just add the piped thumb option along with a size like [[Image:Sample_image.png|thumb|150px]]. By default, the thumbnail with appear on the right side of the page and the text will wrap around it. You can specify position arguments to change this.


Aligning images

Images can be put on the left, right or center by adding the piped option like [[Image:Sample_image.png|thumb|150px|left]].


Boxes

The easy way to make a box is to start a line with a space.
