Helpful Wiki Syntax
- '''fat''' lets appear the word fat like this: fat
- ''italic'' lets appear the word italic like this: italic
-   (include the semicolon) represents a space that will not break over two lines; useful if you type Ikonta A to stop the A appearing on a new line of its own.
Lists
- simple list: A simple list is a text block with several lines, each with an emphatic marker at the start; what Word calls a 'bullet list'. simply type each line beginning with an asterisk symbol (*) followed by a space before the text:
* Cameras * Lenses * Tripods
gives this:
- Cameras
- Lenses
- Tripods
You can use multi-level lists. The second level entries just have two asterisks:
* Cameras ** Viewfinder cameras ** Rangefinder cameras ** TLR cameras ** SLR cameras * Lenses ** Standard lenses ** Wide-angle lenses ** Telephoto lenses
gives this:
- Cameras
- Viewfinder cameras
- Rangefinder cameras
- TLR cameras
- SLR cameras
- Lenses
- Standard lenses
- Wide-angle lenses
- Telephoto lenses
If you use hash characters (#) instead of asterisks, you get a numbered list instead.
Linking
- LINK: A simple link looks like [http://www.address-so-and-so.com so and so] and appears as so and so
Better link to contents of camera-wiki first. External links are usually put at the end of a camera-wiki article.
- LINK inside camera-wiki: [[so and so]]
- LINK inside camera-wiki with synonym: [[so and so|soso]]
- You can link to a singular version of a page with a plural word by doing this [[lens]]es which renders like this lenses.
- If you'd like to link to a category, you can do something like this [[:Category:lens makers|lens makers]] which renders like this lens makers.
Pictures
The most important feature in a photographic wiki is the placement of pictures. This wiki has no special tags for images. Use
<div class="floatright"> image-address </div> for images on the right side of the browserwindow,
and
<div class="floatleft"> image-address </div> for images on the left side of the browserwindow
Camera_wiki:_Adding_images gives more advice on formatting pictures.
Chapters and text structure
- A chapter begins with a headline enclosed in two double equal signs (==)
- Further structuring of a camera-wiki article is possible by sub-headlines enclosed in two triple or quadruple equal signs (===, ====)
Contents
- it's always good to know the Camera-wiki quality standards
- If you want to stop the wiki from turning certain text into "wiki text", you can use the <nowiki></nowiki> tags. Anything between these tags shouldn't be altered by the wiki software.
- If you know that the topic of your article needs much more information than you actually are able to write into it, then give it the special categorization {{stub}}
