Beginning Wiki Editing

Laurel:  Here's some helpful formatting tips.  Just click on the 'edit' tab above to see how to format everything

Note how a dotted line surrounding a colored textbox above? This happens when you hit the spacebar before you start typing a new line.

Also, take note how the Contents box is structured

Sections use = signs to specify a header. Add more equal signs to make a section a subsection. It's almost always a good idea to start with two equal signs (==) as a matter of style. Using three squiggles (~~~) signs a section with your name. Four squiggles signs it with your name and date. RfS 09:53, 3 December 2007 (PST)

Food I Love

how to use bullet points

everything Thai, especially coconut milk
bagels with cream cheese
big ol' salad with nuts and fruit
pizza made within 60 miles of NYC

Restaurants I Like

how to make a numbered list

Pad Thai Kitchen on SE Belmont
Biwa on SE Ash
- Luiz introduced me to authentic Japanese noodle bowls with fried pork belly on top
- to include a bullet point in a numbered list (and not mess up your numbered list), use #*
Oba in the Pearl District
- only during their happy hour because the food and margaritas are cheap
Toro Bravo on NE Russell
- they do an awesome job at innovative tapas

New Heading

sub point
another sub point
- sub-sub point
  - sub-sub-sub point
something else

Other Fun Stuff

indenting without a bullet point

when you start a new line with a colon, it indents without a bullet point

want to link to another page on the wiki? use [[ ]] and put the page name in between the brackets

like this -- User:Ali or this -- Sandbox

if you misspell the page name, the link will appear in RED, like this Usre:Ali

you can link to another page and have the text that appears say something other than the page you're linking to

for example: Interested in the learning about the future of Free Geek? Try looking here
note the |here after the page name

want to create a new page? it's somewhat odd, but easy enough.

First, you'll type the name of the page you want to create in the Search box (not' the google search) and click the "Go" button
Then a page will appear that says There is no page titled ":YOUR NEW PAGE". You can create this page.
So then click on the link create this page and start typing!

for making flow charts, see my user page
