We're putting together some Helpful Links and quick charts to assist you in designing your own Wiki Pages. Of course, you can View any member's User Page source code and duplicate it.
Just be careful not to accidently tamper with any other Member's Personal Pages.

If you come up with some neat page design you wish to share, let us know by either emailing us with the source code, or Post the Code in this page's "Discussion" area (See the Discussion Tab up on top?).


Hope these help,
Rob Johnson, IC

How To Make Tables In Wiki

Thanks to Howad Knapp for capturing this "Tables Tutorial" for us.

the table tag in <> is replaced with {| in wiki
the tr tag in <> is replaced with |- in wiki
the /tr tag in <> is not needed in wiki
the td tag in <> is replaced with | in wiki
the /td tag in <> is not needed in wiki
the /table tag in <> is replaced with |} in wiki

Example

{| border=1
|- 
| test page
|-
| place image here
|}

shows up as

test page
place image here

or side by side

{| border=1
|- 
| test page
| place image here
|}

shows up as

test page place image here
