The Editor

• Quicklinks or Quicktags: these icons provide a handy way of inserting Wiki Syntax. When one of these icons is selected, the Wiki syntax is inserted at the cursors position. The meaning of each of these icons is as follows:
  • Insert Wiki Link Will insert ((text)) / replace text with any existing or new page name. See Wiki-Syntax Links
  • Underlined Text Will insert ===text=== / replace text with text to be underlined. See Wiki-Syntax Text
  • Insert Titlebar Will insert -=text=- / replace text with the name to be used. See Wiki-Syntax Separators
  • Insert Tagline Will insert {cookie} / this will display the current cookie, no changes necessary. See Cookie
  • Insert New Table How a table works is dependent on an Administrative setting. One style uses multiple lines to separate Rows. This icon is used with that method. It will insert 2 lines (which should be on their own lines)
    ||r1c1|r1c2 – which stands for Row1-Column1 & Row1-Column2
    r2c1|r2c2|| – which stands for Row2-Column1 & Row2-Column2
    Any text or image can replace the row/col names. See Wiki-Syntax Text
  • Edit Table This icon is used with the other way a table is created. This icon will insert:
    ||r1c1|r1c2||r2c1|r2c2||
    The primary difference between the two methods is that with this method a double || is used to identify the end of a row and all of the data must be on a single line. See Wiki-Syntax Text
  • Insert RSS Feed Will insert {rss id= }. The id number to is dependent on choices made by the site’s administrator. See Feeds User
  • Italic Text Will insert ''text'' / replace text with the text to be italicized. See Wiki-Syntax Text

    {img src= width= height= align= desc= link= } / add to the following: src= a URL to an image (mandatory) / width= a number in pixels / height= a number in pixels / align= (right, left, center) / desc= a description to be displayed / link= a URL to go to when clicked. See Wiki-Syntax Images
  • Insert Horizontal Ruler Will insert --- . See Wiki-Syntax Separators
  • Insert Heading Will insert a !text / replace text with the text desired for the header (should be at the beginning of a line). See Wiki-Syntax Separators
  • Insert External Link / Will insert [http://example.com|text] / replace http://example.com with any URL and text with a description to be displayed. See Wiki-Syntax Links
  • Insert Dynamic Variable / Will insert %text% / replace text with the name of a variable used on the page. When saved, the word NaV will be displayed - clicking on it will allow the value to be changed. See the Wiki Syntax – HTML? page
