Navigate to the page you want to add an image to. Click the Add File button. Upload the file to the wiki page.

This code inserts the table of contents, and inserts anchors (see anchors section) above every header. You'll still have to insert links to go back to the top of the page. Insert them at the end of every major section.

If a cell is supposed to be empty, type in   to prevent errors in the table.

For more on tables, visit PmWiki page on table directives.

Each cell goes on a consecutive line in the wiki markup. A space followed by the cell data go after each (:cell:) or (:cellnr:) tag, so the first two rows of the State News Leaders page looks like this:

If a cell is supposed to be empty, type in " " to prevent errors in the table.

Creating a table requires both a start and an end tag:

Each cell goes on a consecutive line in the wiki markup. The cell data goes after each (:cell:) or (:cellnr:) tag, so the first two rows of the State News Leaders page looks like this:

(:table:)
(:cell:) '''2000s'''
(:cell:) '''1990s'''
(:cell:) '''1980s'''
(:cell:) '''1970s'''
(:cell:) '''1960s'''
(:cell:) '''1950s'''
(:cell:) '''< 1950'''
(:cellnr:) [[#SN2009|2009]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1999|1999]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1989|1989]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1979|1979]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1969|1969]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1958|1958]]
(:cell:) [[#SN1949|1949]]
(:tableend:)

Tables can be used to organize data, such as on the State News Leaders page.

Creating a table requires start and end tags:

Start: (:table:) End: (:tableend:)

The first cell in each new row must start with (:cellnr:) and every cell after that should say (:cell:) in consecutive rows in the wiki.

To link to a Web site outside the wiki, such as http://www.statenews.com, enclose it in brackets:

To change the link text, so it reads as The State News, add |linktext here to the end:

To link to a Web site outside the wiki, like http://www.statenews.com, enclose it in brackets:

[[http://www.statenews.com]]

To change the link text, so it reads The State News, add |linktext here to the end:

[[http://www.statenews.com|The State News]]

Use one or more empty lines to start a new paragraph.

Anchors

Anchors are used to jump to a location farther down or up on the same page.

To define the location on the page you want to jump to, add [[#name]] to the end of the line. This identifies an exact location on the page.

To create the link used to get to this specific point (the anchor), use [[#name|linktext]].

The anchor cannot begin with a digit.

Incorrect: [[#2008]] Correct: [[#SN2008]]

Anchors are case sensitive, so the anchor and location markup must be the same. For example, the link will not work if the anchor is [[#SN2008]] and the link markup reads [[#sn2008|2008]].

Also, spaces will not work in an anchor.

It's hard to predict what sort of content you might want to present in the pages you work on. However, it's necessary to define a consistent page structure. This structure, much like any page on a wiki, is a work in progress and may be subject to change down the road.

Keep your pages as simple and concise as possible. Use level two headers (!!) to divide your page up into sections. Try to limit your pages to anywhere between three and 10 major sections. Use a table of contents (see below) when it is appropriate.

Use pre-formatted structures ( and @@ ) when displaying code or shell commands.

It is possible to upload images to use in your wiki page. Getting an image on a page is a two-step process:

Navigate to the page you want to add an image to. Click the Add file button. Upload the file to the wiki page.

Insert the following code, which will display the uploaded image.

This code will float the image to the right side, give it a lighter background, and add some padding. You'll want to insert this code right above the paragraph you want it to appear next to.

This code inserts the table of contents, and inserts anchors above every header. You'll still have to insert links to go back to the top of the page. Insert them at the end of every major section.

Redirecting is used to automatically forward the user from one page to another. This is useful when you want to create a page that is similar in nature to another page, and forward viewers to that page. For example, the SFTP? and FTP? pages all forward to the YummyFTP? page. To accomplish this, create your new page and add this code and only this code as the content:

Navigate to the page that you want to add an image to. Click the Add file button. Upload the file to the wiki page.

Insert the following code which will display the uploaded image.

This code will float the image to the right side, and give it a lighter background, and some padding. You'll want to insert this code right above the paragraph you want it to appear next to.

Table of contents

Help now has the PageTableOfContents plugin installed, so the only code needed to generate the table of contents is

This code inserts the table of contents, and inserts anchors above every header. You'll still have to insert links to go back to the top of the page. Insert them at the end of every major section.

Redirecting

Redirecting is used to forward the user from one page to another automatically. This is useful when you want to create a page that is similar in nature to another page, and forward viewers to that page. For example, the SFTP? and FTP? pages all forward to the YummyFTP? page. To accomplish this, create your new page and add this code and only this code as the content:
