Creating a new pageEdit
- you need an account for that
- first go to the page that your new page will be linked to, and edit it
- insert there the name of the new page, and mark as an 'Internal link' using the toolbar
- click on the new link (red letters) to edit the new page that was just created
Composing a new page, or changing an existing pageEdit
- you need an account for that
- just type your text into the edit window and use the toolbar for formatting. It's simple - just look at source code of existing pages, or see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
- Hint: OpenOffice (since 2.3) has a MediaWiki export filter, so you can use OO Writer for formatting and then export that.
generating a box of source code (e.g. to show a script or input file for a program)Edit
Simply introduce a blank at the start of a line. To avoid interruptions of the box, empty lines must start with a blank as well. Example:
shelxc pulg<<eof INFL D22-ip.hkl HREM D22-rh.hkl CELL 85.71 85.71 145.34 90 90 120 SPAG P6522 MAXM 2 eof
mathematical formulasEdit
... are typeset with LaTeX: [math]\displaystyle{ 2 = \left( \frac{\left(3+y-x\right) \times 2}{3-x} \right) }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ F_{hkl} = \sum_{i=1}^{N} e^{-2\pi\imath\left( h\frac{x}{a}+k\frac{y}{b}+l\frac{z}{c}\right)} }[/math]
figuresEdit
... can be uploaded and linked to, according to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images .
