Detailed Help On Editing The Wiki

About This Page
This page gives more detailed help on editing this Rebel Wisdom wiki, including tips and tricks for formatting and structuring pages. See also: Contributing To The Wiki

Headings
Most pages are best broken up into sections using headings. To create a heading either:-


 * Press the "ctrl" button ("cmd" on a Mac) on your keyboard at the same time as hitting the number "2" key. This will set the current text to a Heading.
 * Select from the heading drop-down at the top of the page (where is says "Paragraph" with a down arrow to the right of it.

Then just type the text of your heading and when you hit the Enter key you'll go down a line and back to normal "Paragraph" text.

Sub heading at different levels (with smaller text) can be inserted using ctrl-3, ctrl-4 etc and you can turn a heading back into normal "Paragraph" text using ctrl-0. The short-cut numbers are shown on the Heading drop-down. The table of contents will automatically indent all the different levels of sub-headings.

Recommendation: Most pages will benefit from an "About This Page" heading at the top describing the point of the page and a (very quick) summary of what is in it.

Inserting An External Link
To link to external sites do the following:-


 * Copy the url you want to insert e.g. https://www.rebelwisdom.co.uk/
 * Type the text you want to use for the link e.g. "Rebel Wisdom Website"
 * Highlight that text and then either:-
 * Use a shortcut: Click Ctrl-K (Cmd on a Mac)
 * Click on the link button at the top of the Editor
 * Paste the url
 * Hit the "Done" button

You should end up with something like this: Rebel Wisdom Website

If you want to remove a link just click on it and hit the Remove Link button (which is a red link with a line through it). There is also a button there for changing the text of a link.

Inserting An Internal (Rebel Wisdom wiki) Link Using Quick Search
To link to another page in the Rebel Wisdom wiki you can use a quick method where you:-


 * Click Ctrl-K (Cmd on a Mac)
 * Start typing the Page Title e.g. "Co"
 * Select the page you want to paste a link to e.g. "Contributing To The Wiki"
 * That's it, a link to that page should now have been inserted!

Bullet Lists

 * Select the list drop down at the top and select either bullet or numbered list
 * To increase indent either:-
 * Hit the tab key (like I just did!)
 * or:-
 * Select "Increase indentation" from the list dropdown.
 * To decrease indent (like I just did!) either:-
 * hold down the Shift and Tab button
 * or:-
 * Select "Decrease indentation" from the list dropdown.

To finish the list just hit Enter until you go back to editing normal text.

Forcing Table Of Contents To Appear At The Top
If you add more than 4 headings on the page a Table Of Contents will automatically appear at the top. If you want to force a Table Of Contents to always be shown (so that you can easily link to subsections, or so people always see a nice TOC at the top) you can do this by clicking the button with the three horizontal lines at the top -> Page Settings -> Show the Table of Contents = Always -> Apply.

Linking To Subsections Of Other Pages
If you want to link from some text you are writing to a subsection of another page:-


 * Go to that page.
 * Click on the entry for the subsection in the Table Of Contents
 * Copy the url of the full link in your browser
 * Paste it into the page and it will automagically get inserted with the "Page Title#Heading Title" on the page e.g. Contributing To The Wiki
