Help (changes)
Changes since version 10 upto current version (11)
Each Wiki page has the following commands accessible from the banners:
- [[Edit]] to edit the page
- [[History]] to list previous versions of the page
- [[Changes]] to display the changes between the last
and current version of the page
- Home page to get to the site's home page
- [[Site map]] to list all the available pages
- [[Recent changes]] to list recently modified pages
To [[create]] a page, [[edit]] an existing page and add a
link to the new page in it. A link is a text between
double brackets (see "Text format" below).
The text of the link __is__ the name of the page pointed by
the link (see [[titles]]). When you click a link to a page that does not exist,
a page creation form appears, similar to the page edition form.
It is also possible to create pages by [[upload]]ing files.
[[Conflicts]] that may happen when two authors edit the same page
simultaneously are solved moslty transparently by the server.
The [[Wiki]] page has more details about Wiki. See also the page
on [[social protocols]] to understand the "Wiki spirit". There are
also pages for your [[comments]] and for [[bugs]] you may find, and
a [[test page]] to play with.
--- Page edition form ---
A page has a one-line description text, a category,
a body text, and an author.
The category is used to classify the pages and make the
[[site map]] more readable. Existing categories are listed in
a menu. A new category is created by entering it's name in
the text edit field. See the [[categories]] page.
The [[format]] for the body text is summarized below.
The author should be your name (or login names, or initials).
It will be used to create a link to your "Wiki home page".
It is stored in a "cookie" so you don't have to enter it each time.
See the [[authors]] page.
The "Convert accents" checkbox can be used to enter non-ASCII
characters with a keyboard that does not have these characters.
See the [[accents]] page.
The buttons at the bottom of the form let you save the page,
i.e. create a new current version, [[preview]] the page in
a separate window, reset the form and cancel changes.
--- Text format ---
The [[format]] of text is described in more details in
the [[text]], [[accents]], [[lists]], [[links]] and [[tables]] pages.
