2010.1 help file

From Mizzou Wiki

So I just put a whole bunch of examples of different stuff you can do up here. I've written the exact code and then the result. You can copy and paste in edit to use these things for your own ends.

For starters, these are different font sizes. There are seven sizes you can use. Note that you may need to put in some extra spaces between lines.

<font size="1">Font size 1</font> --> Font size 1

<font size="2">Font size 2</font> --> Font size 2

<font size="3">Font size 3</font> --> Font size 3

<font size="4">Font size 4</font> --> Font size 4

<font size="5">Font size 5</font> --> Font size 5

<font size="6">Font size 6</font> --> Font size 6

<font size="7">Font size 7</font> --> Font size 7

What about laying down some emphasis?

This is '''bold text''' yo. --> This is bold text yo.

Here ''italics'' is good for titles and stuff. --> Here italics is good for titles and stuff.

You like lines? Here's a horizontal rule:

True colors are beautiful. Like a rainbow. Here are some.

<font color="red">This is red.</font> --> This is red.

<font color="blue">This is blue.</font> --> This is blue.

<font color="green">This is green.</font> --> This is green.

<font color="maroon">This is maroon.</font> --> This is maroon.

You can do other colors, too. You get the idea, right?

You know what's nice about pictures? Not having to read them. Here's how you get them after you Special:upload the file.

[[Image:Shoot_him.jpg]]

You can get more controlling like this. (That's file name, thumbnail, alignment, and text you want.) Note that you may need to put in some extra spaces to line crap up.

Alright, this is the web, so links are important. There are internal links, which are within this wiki, and external links, which go to the world.

This is an [[internal link]] like you've already made. --> This is an internal link like you've already made.

This is an external link to the [http://web.missouri.edu/~csswz5 course website] that I love so much. --> This is an external link to the course website that I love so much.

For external links, you can also just type the address like http://web.missouri.edu/~csswz5, which literally results in:

Keep it real with video, too. Check it:

{{#ev:youtube|kAO4EVMlpwM|250}}

The help file on this is alright. It's at Instructions_for_embedding_video_in_this_wiki.

The code refers to the service the video appears on, the number for the video, and the width you want it to display as.

Bullets are nice and real easy:

* Bullet 1

* Bullet 2

* Bullet 3

makes

• Bullet 1
• Bullet 2
• Bullet 3

Random, you can do a signature with this:

and that shows who I am and when I edited.

You can rip off the Main Page for some sneakier formatting. For examples:

{{Heading|My Title}}

This is some kind of box thing:

{{Box2|BORDER = red|BACKGROUND = blue|WIDTH = 40%|CONTENT = God, this is the best class I've ever taken in my life. I wish it were Monday, Wednesday, or Friday so I could be there right now!}}

God, this is the best class I've ever taken in my life. I wish it were Monday, Wednesday, or Friday so I could be there right now!

This is a table:

{{Table|Wow, I'm a table.}}

Last, for now... It's kinda cool to use the headline feature, because it makes a separate little editable space.

== This is a brand new section ==

This is a brand new section

That just gives you some organizational control.
