From Game Editor
A lot of people want to write something here but they don't know how to use this wiki very well. I will help you.
Simple wiki formating
You can do a lot with the wiki standard. Usually you don't need more.
Make text bold and italic
Make a text bold or italic by using this:
'''bold''' ''italic''
A text in two apostrophes (') makes the text italic, three of them bold.
Internal and external links
There are two kinds of links in the web: the internal links and the external links. Most times you use links to other pages on this wiki. For example a link from the main page to functions. These are the internal links, because the destination are on the same host (http://game-editor.com/wiki). Write the page name in four square brackets ([[ and ]]). Example:
Go to the [[Main Page]].
You'll get this: Go to the Main Page.
Sometimes you need links to other webpages, maybe your own one in your user description. Write the full address in two square brackets ([ and ]). Example:
Download Game Editor here: [http://game-editor.com/].
You'll get this: Download Game Editor here: [1].
Alternative text for internal links
Maybe you want to make a link to the page functions, but the text without the 's'. Write a '|' between the page name and the text. Example:
''ChangeAnimation'' is a [[Functions|function]].
You'll get this: ChangeAnimation is a function.
If you want to append characters at page links (e.g. the 's' on keyword), you can append the 's' behind the last two brackets. Example:
Game Editor uses a lot of [[keyword]]s.
You'll get this: Game Editor uses a lot of keywords.
Headers
You can use headers for different topics on one page. Write them in two equal to signs (== and ==. You can also add a second header under another header by using one equal to sign more.
Syntax:
== Header 1 == == Header 2 == === Header 2.1 === === Header 2.2 === == Header 3 ==
Pictures
You can put in pictures in the pages. Make is about like internal links. Append the text "Image:" before the picture name. You have to upload the picture on the upload page first.
Example:
[[Image:Avatar_asmodeus.png]]
This example will show asmodeus' avatar: .
Nowiki areas
Sometimes you want to write things like ''no italic text, please''. Just put the text, that mustn't formated by wiki into <nowiki> and </nowiki>. Example:
''This is italic.'' <nowiki>''But this isn't.''</nowiki>
Your result: This is italic. ''But this isn't.''
Border around text (code)
Sometimes you would like to show the reader a code. Maybe about like this:
int a, b;
a = 7;
b = 3;
if(a+b!=10) textNumber = a+b;
else textNumber = -1;
That's weird! I can't really read it. Insert a space at the first place on each line to get it like a code:
int a, b; a = 7; b = 3; if(a+b!=10) textNumber = a+b; else textNumber = -1;
That's much better.
Tables
Sometimes you need a table to sort some values. Maybe about like this:
Header 1 | Header 2 |
---|---|
Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
Cell 3 | Cell 4 |
Source Code:
{| !Header 1 !Header 2 |- |Cell 1 |Cell 2 |- |Cell 3 |Cell 4 |}
Use {| to start a new table and |} to end the table. Insert an exclamation mark (!) before each header, and a vertical bar (|) before each cell content.
Formating with HTML and CSS
You can also use HTML and CSS to design the text, tables and other things.
<b>Bold</b>
Same as:
'''Bold'''
Design a table
When you are making tables in wiki, they should have a border. Use this:
{| border="1" |much text... |}
The table will look about like this now:
Header 1 | Header 2 |
---|---|
Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
Cell 3 | Cell 4 |
