Wiki Help

Wikipedia defines a Wiki as a type of website that allows visitors to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content. gantthead's only requirement is that users must be registered to make changes to wiki pages. Wiki pages are created using a simplified markup language to indicate various structural and visual conventions, and can be augmented using HTML. The following is a brief primer on the use of "wikitext".

Headings and Sections

gantthead automatically generates a Table of Contents for a wiki page when section headings are created in the following way:

Top Level: ==Section==

Second Level: ===Subsection===

Third Level: ====Sub-subsection====

Links

Internal Links

Internal links are created using double square brackets. The phrase to link to is placed within square brackets like this:

[[example]] will display as example

If the phrase to link to is different from what should be displayed use this format:
[[example|show this text]] will display as show this text

External Links

External links are created using single square brackets in the format: [target label]. So for example:

[[https://www.projectmanagement.com Project Management]] will display as Project Management

Footnotes

Footnotes are created using the "ref" tag. ProjectManagement.com will automatically create footnote numbers for any footnotes it encounters within the wikitext and place them in a numbered list at the bottom of the wiki page in a "Notes" section.
This:Displays as:
blah blah blah <REF>Footnote Text</REF>

more blah blah

blah blah blah [1]

more blah blah

Notes

1. ^Footnote Text

Bullets and Lists

Bulleted lists are created using * and numbered lists are created using #. The more *s and #s you use, the deeper the level. A line break marks the end of the list item. For example:

This:Displays as:
* top level
** second level
** second level
*** third level
** back to second
  • top level
    • second level
    • second level
      • third level
    • back to second
# the same

## numbers
  1. the same
    1. formatting
    2. works

    3. numbers

Bold & Italics

Bold text is placed within 3 single quotation marks:

'''Bold''' will display as Bold

Italic text is placed within 2 single quotation marks:

''Italics'' will display as Italics

Images

Images, like links, are placed within square brackets in the format:

[[Image:image.jpg|align|frame|caption]]

Clicking the image button in the wiki editor will let you upload an image and place it within your wikitext. The align parameter is not required, possible values are "left, right and center". The frame parameter is also not required, but if it is present a frame will be placed around the image and the caption displayed under it. Other possible parameters include the words "thumb" or "thumbnail" and a size parameter in pixels, like "300px". These parameters will place a smaller-sized version of the image within the wiki page that links to the full size image.
