Editing Text On This Wiki


How do I...

Create a new page?

Two ways:
  • Use the Page/New link at the top-right of every page. This will allow you to pick a template (ex: FAQ template) to preformat your new page).
  • Make a Link to a WikiPage that doesn't exist (see below), then view the page and click the link. You will get the new page editor.

Edit an existing page?

Use the Page/Edit link at the top-right of every page.

Create nice looking text?

After clicking the Page/New or Page/Edit link at the top-right of every page, you will see the page editor box. By default, the editor is in WYSIWYG mode (What You See Is What You Get :-)
  • Simple: just type in the box, and use the icons at the top of the editor box to format your text.
  • Sophisticated: switch to HTML mode by using the <> icon. This can be helpful to see exactly what's going on under the covers, and to tweak your code.
  • Use the ? icon to get help with the editor.

Add a link?

The EditMe editor automatically converts URLs into links when you type them into the editor. For example, if you type http://www.editme.com into the editor, it becomes a link right before your eyes.

The same is true for email links. Just type the email address, as in johndoe@yahoo.com.

Note: Automatic linking only works in Internet Explorer.

Are there Linking shortcuts?

Creating a new page: you can link to other pages within your site (whether they exist yet or not), by entering a page name right in the editor, surrounded by two square brackets. The following example creates a link to this page, which is named InsertingLinks:

[[InsertingLinks]]

When you view the page, EditMe transforms this into Inserting Links.

Linking to New vs. Existing Pages

A benefit of using square brackets is that EditMe indicates whether the page exists yet. If the page exists, a normal link is displayed on the page. If the page does not exist yet, the link is surrounded by one set of square brackets. This makes it easy to leave behind a reminder to create new pages you have linked to while writing content.

[[ANewPage]] becomes [A New Page] (this page doesn't exist on this site)
[[InsertingLinks]] becomes Inserting Links (this page does exist on this site)

Automatic Title Insertion

If you have specified a Title for a page that is different from the page name, EditMe will use the title in place of the page name in the link text. For example, the FAQ page on this site has its title set to "Frequently Asked Questions". Therefore:

[[FAQ]] becomes Frequently Asked Questions

Using Alternate Link Text

If you want to link to an EditMe page using double-brackets but don't want the link text to be the name of the page, you can specify different link text by following the page name with a space, followed by the alternate text you want displayed.

[[PageNames Click Here]] becomes Click Here
[[FAQ FAQ]] becomes FAQ

Note: you cannot have a single quote (') or double quote (") in your alternate link ext.

Using Brackets for Non-EditMe Pages

The double-brackets linking technique works for non-EditMe pages as well. Just include a fully qualified URL in place of a page name.

[[http://www.editme.com]] becomes http://www.editme.com
[[ftp://ftp.microsoft.com Microsoft FTP]] becomes Microsoft FTP

What are WikiWords? (CamelCase spacing)

CamelCase refers to the convention of SmashingWordsTogether by capitalizing letters in a page name. The double-brackets linking mechanism inserts spaces before the capital letters and numbers in the page name, and is useful if you name your pages using CamelCase. Here are some examples of how EditMe processes CamelCase:

[ABC] becomes [ABC]
[AB Cat] becomes [AB Cat]
[Page Names] becomes Page Names
[A New Page] becomes [A New Page]
[1 Elephant] becomes [1 Elephant]
[23 Elephants] becomes [23 Elephants]

You may also notice that EditMe spaces out CamelCase when you create a new page, using the spaced text as the new page's title.
