# Navigating |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most natural way of navigating is by clicking wiki links that |
|
|
|
connect one page with another. The "Front page" link in the navigation |
|
|
|
bar will always take you to the Front Page of the wiki. The "All pages" |
|
|
|
link will take you to a list of all pages on the wiki (organized into |
|
|
|
folders if directories are used). Alternatively, you can search using |
|
|
|
the search box. Note that the search is set to look for whole words, so |
|
|
|
if you are looking for "gremlins", type that and not "gremlin". |
|
|
|
The "go" box will take you directly to the page you type. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Creating and modifying pages |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Registering for an account |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to modify pages, you'll need to be logged in. To register |
|
|
|
for an account, just click the "register" button in the bar on top |
|
|
|
of the screen. You'll be asked to choose a username and a password, |
|
|
|
which you can use to log in in the future by clicking the "login" |
|
|
|
button. While you are logged in, these buttons are replaced by |
|
|
|
a "logout so-and-so" button, which you should click to log out |
|
|
|
when you are finished. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that logins are persistent through session cookies, so if you |
|
|
|
don't log out, you'll still be logged in when you return to the |
|
|
|
wiki from the same browser in the future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Editing a page |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To edit a page, just click the "edit" button at the bottom right corner |
|
|
|
of the page. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can click "Preview" at any time to see how your changes will look. |
|
|
|
Nothing is saved until you press "Save." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you must provide a description of your changes. This is to |
|
|
|
make it easier for others to see how a wiki page has been changed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Page metadata |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pages may optionally begin with a metadata block. Here is an example: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--- |
|
|
|
format: latex+lhs |
|
|
|
categories: haskell math |
|
|
|
toc: no |
|
|
|
title: Haskell and |
|
|
|
Category Theory |
|
|
|
... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section{Why Category Theory?} |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The metadata block consists of a list of key-value pairs, each on a |
|
|
|
separate line. If needed, the value can be continued on one or more |
|
|
|
additional line, which must begin with a space. (This is illustrated by |
|
|
|
the "title" example above.) The metadata block must begin with a line |
|
|
|
`---` and end with a line `...` optionally followed by one or more blank |
|
|
|
lines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the following keys are supported: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
format |
|
|
|
: Overrides the default page type as specified in the configuration file. |
|
|
|
Possible values are `markdown`, `rst`, `latex`, `html`, `markdown+lhs`, |
|
|
|
`rst+lhs`, `latex+lhs`. (Capitalization is ignored, so you can also |
|
|
|
use `LaTeX`, `HTML`, etc.) The `+lhs` variants indicate that the page |
|
|
|
is to be interpreted as literate Haskell. If this field is missing, |
|
|
|
the default page type will be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
categories |
|
|
|
: A space or comma separated list of categories to which the page belongs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
toc |
|
|
|
: Overrides default setting for table-of-contents in the configuration file. |
|
|
|
Values can be `yes`, `no`, `true`, or `false` (capitalization is ignored). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
title |
|
|
|
: By default the displayed page title is the page name. This metadata element |
|
|
|
overrides that default. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating a new page |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To create a new page, just create a wiki link that links to it, and |
|
|
|
click the link. If the page does not exist, you will be editing it |
|
|
|
immediately. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reverting to an earlier version |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you click the "history" button at the bottom of the page, you will |
|
|
|
get a record of previous versions of the page. You can see the differences |
|
|
|
between two versions by dragging one onto the other; additions will be |
|
|
|
highlighted in yellow, and deletions will be crossed out with a horizontal |
|
|
|
line. Clicking on the description of changes will take you to the page |
|
|
|
as it existed after those changes. To revert the page to the revision |
|
|
|
you're currently looking at, just click the "revert" button at the bottom |
|
|
|
of the page, then "Save". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deleting a page |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "delete" button at the bottom of the page will delete a page. Note |
|
|
|
that deleted pages can be recovered, since a record of them will still be |
|
|
|
accessible via the "activity" button on the top of the page. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Uploading files |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To upload a file--a picture, a PDF, or some other resource--click the |
|
|
|
"upload" button in the navigation bar. You will be prompted to select |
|
|
|
the file to upload. As with edits, you will be asked to provide a |
|
|
|
description of the resource (or of the change, if you are overwriting |
|
|
|
an existing file). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often you may leave "Name on wiki" blank, since the existing name of the |
|
|
|
file will be used by default. If that isn't desired, supply a name. |
|
|
|
Note that uploaded files *must* include a file extension (e.g. `.pdf`). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are providing a new version of a file that already exists on the |
|
|
|
wiki, check the box "Overwrite existing file." Otherwise, leave it |
|
|
|
unchecked. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To link to an uploaded file, just use its name in a regular wiki link. |
|
|
|
For example, if you uploaded a picture `fido.jpg`, you can insert the |
|
|
|
picture into a (markdown-formatted) page as follows: ``. |
|
|
|
If you uploaded a PDF `projection.pdf`, you can insert a link to it |
|
|
|
using: `[projection](projection.pdf)`. |
|
|

# Markdown |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This wiki's pages are written in [pandoc]'s extended form of [markdown]. |
|
|
|
If you're not familiar with markdown, you should start by looking |
|
|
|
at the [markdown "basics" page] and the [markdown syntax description]. |
|
|
|
Consult the [pandoc User's Guide] for information about pandoc's syntax |
|
|
|
for footnotes, tables, description lists, and other elements not present |
|
|
|
in standard markdown. |

|
## Wiki links |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Links to other wiki pages are formed this way: `[Page Name]()`. |
|
|
|
(Gitit converts markdown links with empty targets into wikilinks.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To link to a wiki page using something else as the link text: |
|
|
|
`[something else](Page Name)`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that page names may contain spaces and some special characters. |
|
|
|
They need not be CamelCase. CamelCase words are *not* automatically |
|
|
|
converted to wiki links. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wiki pages may be organized into directories. So, if you have |
|
|
|
several pages on wine, you may wish to organize them like so: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wine/Pinot Noir |
|
|
|
Wine/Burgundy |
|
|
|
Wine/Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that a wiki link `[Burgundy]()` that occurs inside the `Wine` |
|
|
|
directory will link to `Wine/Burgundy`, and not to `Burgundy`. |
|
|
|
To link to a top-level page called `Burgundy`, you'd have to use |
|
|
|
`[Burgundy](/Burgundy)`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To link to a directory listing for a subdirectory, use a trailing |
|
|
|
slash: `[Wine/]()` will link to a listing of the `Wine` subdirectory. |
