Here is our test text. Some italics and some boldface.


So here's a link to test: Ranganathan- style http://www.uniroma1.it/Mathematics/I-Ranganathan.html

-- Finagles law -- Why doesn't this work ?


Let's try an outside URL where the URL itself does not appear in the Wiki text. It can be done with single square brackets, and it's assigned a number, like a footnote: [1] and let's try a second one: [2] to see if we get a different number. OK! Between horizontal dividers, footnote numbers increment as expected.


this <span>is</span> a test.

[| edit]

For yucks, let's see if we get another footnote: [1]. Hmm, it seems that the horizontal divider re-initializes the footnote numbers.


Hm, links don't seem to be working. Another sandbox

Nope, looks like they don't.


well how do i get a link to their term??

editing is simple agreed?

is editing really as simple as this? Let's try it

http://creativeideas.20m.com

Yes, simple as typing it in and saving - cool!

That was my hope too: just wanted to try it before making a fule of myself...

I'm a little worried --

Hey, could you use something like this for a message board? Where people meet? maybe sign there name so you know who's who.?

What about pics? can u do that too? loretta

I can't find anything about adding pictures

And I can't find any pictures.

eep


Just type the URL http://www.ma.man.ac.uk/~gowen/anybrowser_icon.gif gives

A monkey says "eep".


Some monkeys cannot, for they have been silent since birth.

Poor monkeys.


A place for children of all ages to play in.


Can I create a link to a page called Sandbox by using special markup, e.g. [Sandbox] like on ZWiki? Hm, nope, it doesn't seem to work. If it did, it would solve the problem of silly WikiNames? like .

Requires two brackets: sandbox <noWicki>Sandbox</nowicki>.


Why don't you people use TWiki? It is, in my opinion, better than the typical wiki web because it stores an entire revision history of each page. You can also turn things into wiki pages that don't fit the CorrectSyntax?. So, you could make "Correctsyntax" into a page.

Check out Twiki at http://www.twiki.org

I'm not the best person to answer this question, but this we do permit Free Links and we can (can't we? Guys?) change the settings so that an entire revision history of each page is stored. Besides, we have CliffordAdams working to add features that make UseModWiki the best possible wiki for an encyclopedia project! --Larry Sanger

I made a little box in the SandBox-Please leave this ? !!! And yet it may not show up on many computers...

I can't make a box :( Is it a Mac thing?

? ? ? I can copy and paste boxes, though.


No. I was entering unprintable characters by holding down the ALT key and entering 0141 in the keypad. This is on a PC not a Mac. ????? See...RoseParks. Learned from entering the Iternational Phonetics Alphabet in a doc, then copying to e-mail I got boxes and other strange things. ???? See..¡ã?????*--~?s>??Y¨ª??¨²

In fact, any browser is free to display anything here. The boxes above are character 0x8D, which is undefined in ISO-8859-1 (which is what the Wikipedia server specifies), and unused in Windows-1251 as well. Most Windows fonts put a small box in unused positions, so that's what you'll see on most Windows machines and fonts (although many fonts don't even bother doing that, so you'll just see blank space or a solid black box). On old pre-Windows MS-DOS code page 437, it was the character "¨¬" (i grave), so you might see that from text cut-and-pasted from older DOS texts; in old Macintosh Roman, it was "?" (c cedilla), so you might get it from Mac-pasted texts as well. If your browser does display the i-grave or c-cedilla there, then it is configured incorrectly.


Special characters and math symbols: see Wiki special characters. You can use this space to experiment

with what is available on your browser, but note that just because something works in your browser, that doesn't mean it works in anyone else's.

You can make superscripts and subscripts within a Wiki and you can control the font size and color.

So why all the &lt;/&gt; stuff showing up?

The above is written as straight HTML, and displays just the same as the previous line. What gives?


[[Dune (film productions)]]

Goll dang it, I want to [[use (parentheses in titles)]]! If not that way, then [This (way)]!

Still don't have parens. Guess we haven't upgreaded to 0.92 yet.

&lt;i&gt;This should not be italicized!&lt;/i&gt;

Test emacs-w3-mode. ?

[Some system]? testing done. Trivial.


I can't find a decent description of the wiki markup syntax so I'm forced to experiment here. If anyone can point me to a spec, please note it here:

This is a test, and ONLY a test...

  1. This is a numbered item.
    Followed by this.

  1. Then another numbered item.

  1. Numbered item with blank line. Must use the <br><br> trick rather than a blank line in source, or else the numbers start over.

Here is some very important text which you should read carefully. Please do so at your earliest convenience. If you are unable to comply with this request, do not attempt to do so. It would be useless for you to do so. Resist the temptation at all cost.

Here is some more very important text which you should also read carefully. It is easily as informative as the preceeding paragraph.

Does UseMod support the same table markup as MoinMoin??
