How to edit a page

Start your sections with header lines:

New section

Subsection

Sub-subsection

== New section ==
       or
<h3> New section </h3>

=== Subsection ===
       or
<h4> Subsection </h4>

==== Sub-subsection ====
       or
<h5> Sub-subsection </h5>

A single newline has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the diff function.

But an empty line starts a new paragraph.

You can break lines<br>
without starting a new paragraph.

• Lists are easy to do:
  • start every line with a star
  • more stars means deeper levels

1. Numbered lists are also good
   1. very organized
   2. easy to follow

• You can even do mixed lists
  1. and nest them
     • like this

• One item per line, NEWLINE only before the colon. The space

before the colon improves parsing.

A colon indents a line or paragraph.

A manual newline starts a new paragraph.

IF a line starts with a space THEN
  it will be formatted exactly
    as typed;
  in a fixed-width font;
  lines won't wrap;
ENDIF
this is useful for:
  * pasting preformatted text;
  * algorithm descriptions;
  * program source code
  * ascii art;

WARNING If you make it wide, you force the whole page to be wide and hence less readable. Never start ordinary lines with spaces.

• Only images that have been uploaded to Wikibooks can be used. To upload

images, use the upload page. You can find the uploaded image on the image list

A picture: [[Image:Nov_red.gif]]

or, with alternate text (strongly encouraged)

[[Image:Nov_red.gif|The Novell Icon]] 

Web browsers render alternate text when not displaying an image -- for example, when the image isn't loaded, or in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud.

Clicking on an uploaded image displays a description page, which you can also link directly to: Image:Nov_red.gif

[[:Image:Nov_red.gif]]

To include links to non-image uploads such as sounds, or to images shown

as links instead of drawn on the page, use a "media" link.

To reference other WIKI pages, enclose the page name with double square brackets. For example Novell Industry Standards and Initiatives.

To reference other WIKI pages, enclose the page name
with double square brackets. 
For example [[Novell Industry Standards and Initiatives]].

Trivia:

• If the referenced page does not exist the words will be highlighted in red
  • You can create it by clicking on the link.
• Internally WIKI converts the spaces between words into underscores.
• First letter of target is automatically capitalized.
• The URL for the Industry Standards and Initiatives page is: https://wiki.novell.com/index.html?title=

Novell_Industry_Standards_and_Initiatives </nowiki></pre>

Link to a section on a page, e.g. Novell Industry Standards and Initiatives#Calendar (links to non-existent

sections aren't really broken, they are treated as

Open Source Community of Practice.

To have a different name displayed:
[[CoP - Open Source |Open Source Community of Practice]].

Endings are blended
into the link: [[test]]ing, [[gene]]s

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: kingdom.

Automatically hide namespace: Village pump. <p>The server fills in the part after the | when you save the page. Next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. A preview interprets the abbreviated form correctly, but does not expand it yet in the edit box. Press Save and again Edit, and you will see the expanded version. The same applies for the following feature.

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses:

you should sign it. You can do this by adding three tildes for your user name:

or four for user name plus date/time:

When adding a comment to a Talk page,
you should sign it. You can do this by
adding three tildes for your user name:

exist yet.

• You can create it by clicking on the link.
• To create a new page:
  1. Create a link to it on some other page.
  2. Save that page.
  3. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing.
• Have a look at how to start a page guide and

the naming conventions page for your project.

• After creating a page, search for its title and make sure that

everyone correctly links to it.

[[The weather in London]] is a page
that doesn't exist yet.

Redirect one article title to another by putting text like this (#Redirect) in its first line.

#REDIRECT [[United States]]

For a special way to link to the page on the same subject in another language or on another wiki, see MediaWiki User's Guide: Interwiki linking.

External Links: [http://www.novell.com Novell] 

• In the URL all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 ._\/~%-+&#?!=()@ \x80-\xFF.

If a URL contains a different character it should be converted; for example, ^ has to be written %5E (to be looked up in ASCII).

Or just give the URL:
http://www.novell.com.

Emphasize, strongly, very strongly.

• These are double and triple apostrophes, not double quotes.

''Emphasize'', '''strongly''',
'''''very strongly'''''.

You can also write italic and bold if the desired effect is a specific font style rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulae:

F = ma

• However, the difference between these two methods is not

very important for graphical browsers, and many people 

choose to ignore it.

You can also write <i>italic</i> and <b>bold</b>
if the desired effect is a specific font style
rather than emphasis, as in mathematical formulas:
:<b>F</b> = <i>m</i><b>a</b>

A typewriter font for <tt>technical terms</tt>.

You can use <small>small text</small> for captions.

and underline new material.

You can <strike>strike out deleted material</strike>
and <u>underline new material</u>.

Superscript: x² or x²

• The latter method of superscript can't be used in the most general context, but is preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it.

ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C² / J m.
