Contacts: Sumner Brown Gibbs (Oak Ridge National Laboratory); Stefano Deiuri (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste)

This page contains examples of the most commonly used wiki markup code. The links at left will take you to additional details and more advanced topics.

The easiest way to insert basic wiki markup is to use the icons at the top of the editing window (which you will see when you are logged in and ready to edit a page):

 Jacow contacts page

Link to a location on the current page. Create an "anchor" for the section you want to link to. The anchor consists of a link with the hashtag symbol and a name you give the section:

[[#Images]]
!!!!This is the images section.

To create a link to the section, type in a link as normal using square brackets, but use a hashtag symbol and the name of the anchor you created:

[[#Images|Images section]]

Inserting Images

To insert an image, you first need to upload it by clicking on "Upload" in the orange menu, which will take you to the upload page:

Check the URL of the uploads page to make sure you are in the directory where you want the image to be. You can also check the title of the uploads page. For example, note that in the image above, the page title is Attachments for PmWiki.Uploads, so the uploaded file will be in the "PmWiki" directory. Once you have uploaded the file, use the "attach file" icon or type "Attach:[insert filename].
