- Start editing
- To start editing a page, click the Edit this page (or just edit) link at one of its edges. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext: the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the sandbox, not here.
- Quick Tricks
- New pages are made using wikilinks [[Main Page]] produces Main Page. Following the resulting link allows you to create the new page by editing the blank one.
- Bulleted Lists are made using a * in front of the line
- Numbered lists are made using a # in front of the line
- ''italics'' = italics made with 2 apostrophes
- '''bold''' = bold made with 3 apostrophes
- <nowiki>text without wiki formatting</nowiki> = overrides wiki formatting
- [http://www.nuhoc.neu.edu nuhoc website] = nuhoc website single brackets are used to link to external pages. Anything following the hyperlink is the text displayed over the link.
- [[Main_Page]] = Main_Page double brackets are used to link to internal pages
[edit]
Wikilinks
A wikilink or internal link links a page to another page within the same wiki. New pages are made by creating a link to a page that does not exist, and then adding content to that page. Links are case sensitive.
- [[a]] gives a.
- [[a|b]] gives b (link to a, labelled b).
- [[a]]b gives ab, just like [[a|ab]] does: ab.
- [[a|b]]c gives bc, just like [[a|bc]] does: bc.
- a[[b]] gives ab.
- [[a]]<nowiki>b</nowiki> gives ab.
- [[a]]''b'' gives ab.
- ''[[a]]''b gives ab.
- [[a|b]]c<nowiki>d</nowiki> gives bcd.
- [[a]][[b]] gives ab (two links, but looking equal to the single link ab), even if the links are underlined (a b and a b look the same only if links are not underlined).
