How to Edit the Wiki

Basics

Headers

When editing a wiki, you can make different ranks of titles. Header 1 is the biggest, mostly for pages titles. Other headers are of decreasing size up to Header 4.

To make text you are writing a header, simply surround it by equals signs.

E.g. For a Header 1 title:

= Project =

E.g. Header 2 titles:

== Introduction ==

E.g. Header 3:

=== Monday ===

Paragraphs

Press Enter TWICE to do a new paragraph. Leave a whole line between paragraphs.

Bullet Points

To do a list of bullet points, just start each point with a * on a new line.

To indent bullet points (useful for sub-bullet points) do a -*

Uploading Images:

Upload pictures and files with this link:

https://2009.igem.org/Special:Upload

Once uploaded copy the name of the image title. e.g.: Image:cambridgepic.jpg

Then put this in your document with square brackets on each side. e.g. [[Image:cambridgepif.jpg]]

You can do some stuff to the picture too. e.g. for it to be 200pixels wide and on the right of the page:

[[Image:cambridgepif.jpg | 200px | right]]
