User:Evon R'al/Wiki coding notes: Difference between revisions

The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_) in internal links (Need to check for inter wiki links). So <nowiki>[[Relic_and_data_sites]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Relic and data sites]]</nowiki> are equivalent. Eliminating the need to change the underscore version into a piped link for nice readability, providing a "cleaner" source.

Internal (or intrawiki) links check the existence of the target page. If the page doesn't exist, is misspelled or the case is incorrect the link turns [[red link|red]].

<code><nowiki>[[combat sites#Expeditions]]</nowiki></code> gives [[combat sites#Expeditions]]<br>

<code><nowiki>[[combat sites#no exist]]</nowiki></code> gives [[combat sites#no exist]], leading to the top of the combat sites page

<code>A link to <nowiki>[[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]]</nowiki></code> gives "A link to [[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]]".

The link end and pipe tricks described at internal links work for interwiki links just as-well. And use of a label to change the presentation of a link also works.

UniWiki uses the extension [[:Mediawikiwiki:Extension:SimpleMathJax|SimpleMathJax]] for the presentation of formulas. The formula to be presented needs to be encased with the tags <nowiki><math></nowiki> and <nowiki></math></nowiki>. <math>\TeX</math> or <math>\LaTeX</math> markup can be used. Errors will be marked as&nbsp;<math>\sqrt</math>

| \sqrt {X} || <math> \sqrt {X} </math> || square root

| \root {n} \of {X} || <math> \root {n} \of {X} </math> || root

|  a \\ b \\ c  || <math> a \\ b \\ c </math> || newline within a <nowiki><math></nowiki> block
