Help:Editing

This wiki makes use of the MediaWiki software, which is the same software as is used to power the all-knowing Wikipedia website. For an overview of the syntax that you can use, see Help:Editing on the meta.wikimedia.org site.

Some specific areas including MediaWiki plugins ('extensions') that we have installed:

Code highlighting

We are using the ASHighlight extension (that we wrote ourselves, making use of Andre Simon's highlight program inside):

<source lang=a4c> MODEL mymodel; x IS_A length; END model; </source>	MODEL mymodel; x IS_A length; END model;
<source lang=c> int main(void); fprintf(stderr,"hello world!\n"); exit(0); } </source>	int main(void); fprintf(stderr,"hello world!\n"); exit(0); }

References

You can use <ref> tags in our wiki. Please see documentation and plugin details.

Images

You can upload images of various types to our wiki, and display them in your pages. We suggest PNG images in most cases, although SVG images are also appropriate for primarily vector graphics.

A tutorial on the use of images is here.

Tables
