Open access

Sklogwiki is, and hopefully will remain, open-access. That is to say, anybody with an internet connection can contribute to and edit SklogWiki. Here is how to do so...

How to edit a page

At the top of each page there are a number of 'tabs' with various functions: To edit a page simply click on 'edit'. This will open a region at the bottom of the page in which you can work.

Basic syntax

To add Bold text encapsulate the text within three apostrophes: '''Bold text'''
To add Italic text encapsulate the text within two apostrophes: ''Italic text''
To add both bold & italic text use five apostrophes: '''''bold & italic'''''
To add a link to a page within SklogWiki encapsulate the text within two square parenthesis [[page to link to]]
External links are encapsulated within a single square parenthesis, for example:

[http://www.sklogwiki.org] results in [1]
[http://www.sklogwiki.org sklogwiki]results in sklogwiki
http://www.sklogwiki.org results in http://www.sklogwiki.org

To add headlines:

Level 1

encapsulate the heading between two 'equals' signs: == Level 1 ==

Level 2

encapsulate the heading between three 'equals' signs: === Level 2 ===

Level 3

encapsulate the heading between four 'equals' signs: ==== Level 3 ====

Level 4

encapsulate the heading between five 'equals' signs: ===== Level 4 =====

Level 5

encapsulate the heading between six 'equals' signs: ====== Level 5 ======


To create a bullet list use asterisks:
* one
* two
** two point one
* three

results in:

  • one
  • two
    • two point one
  • three

To create a numbered list use the hash symbol:
# one
# two
## two point one
# three

results in

  1. one
  2. two
    1. two point one
  3. three

To write an equation, using LaTeX math markup:
:<math>c_{ij}(r)= \sum_{n=1} \frac{K_{ij}}{r}e^{-z_nr} ~~~~~~ \sigma_{ij} < r </math>
reults in:

And finally, to add a 'thumbnail image on the right hand side of the page:

[[Image:Wiki.png|thumb|Caption text]]

Caption text


The best way to learn is to start editing. You can check the results by using Show preview before saving the page.

All of these functions can be accessed by typing the mark-up directly, or by using the icons located at the top of the edit region.
