Text Editing

I do not have any desire to re-invent the wheel, and a Quick guide to Wiki Text Formatting is available at:

http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Basic_Wiki_Formatting

The only addendum I would add, is that the preferred method of marking up text is <strong> and <em> rather than <b> and <i>

Indentation

There are two easy ways of text indentation. For presentation of code, you can simply put a space at the front of the line(s) of text. This will produce the text within a box.

Like this.

Alternatively, you can place a ":" at the start of the line, which will result in text indentation, with no decoration.

Thusly

Linking Within the Wiki

To create a link to another document within the Wiki structure, simply put double square brackets around the text you would like to become a link.

For instance:

[[Edit Me]] 

becomes

Edit Me 

in the real world. If the page you are linking to does not exist yet, don't worry, because following that link will allow you to edit it, at which point the page will cease to not exist.

If you would like a different name for your link you can do that by using the "|":

[[Edit Me|Please Edit Me]]

becomes

Please Edit Me

Linking the outside world

It is similarly easy to create a link to an outside website. Simply put a single square bracket around the address and the description. So

[http://www.fs.com.au Functional Website]

becomes

Functional Website

or, without the description

http://www.fs.com.au

becomes

http://www.fs.com.au

Redirecting

If you ever need to change a page so that it redirects to another page, edit the page you want to redirect from, and use this command:

#REDIRECT [[targetpagename]]

Note - The command must start at the first character of the first line of the page. REDIRECT must be in FULL CAPS. If the target page has spaces in its name, replace the spaces with underscores ( _ )
