anything unclear? feel free to ask

• write text / code directly into an existing page (if you contribute code, use <code> and </code> around that text or use the template for code)
• create a new page and write into that one
• upload a supercollider file or an html page and just create a link shortcut to it (for sc files add .txt to the name, so they can be viewed in the browser)
• upload an archive, images, sounds etc.
• create a link to your own server or other links of interest
• if you have contributed something, you can
  • add a link to recent contributions, so one easily knows that there is something new
  • add your name to the contacts page, or create a page for yourself to link to

• There is also a Sandbox for playing around with the syntax.
• code template: codepage testpage test
• wie verlinke ich richtig?
• copyleft

• for a reference to the formatting rules, just open the help guide in an extra window.

• to start a new page, just put the new name between * and *, save, and then yourpagename[create] will appear.

• for contributing code, just paste your text into the editing window and insert <code> before and </code> after it, so it will be distinguished from normal text. Now you can also choose the code template when creating a page. Tip: if you are used to the sc-typical Monaco font, set your browser standard font to Monaco size 9

• to make a link to any other page on the web, just put it between stars. (often coy and paste from creates an empty space before the http://, which you have to remove.

• you can insert an anchor before any text using @someWord on the beginning of the line and put the anchor *someWord@thePageName* where you want to link from, when you want to mention another place on this swiki.

• file upload: just hit upload and you can choose whether to upload to the whole swiki or just to the page. Normally it is better to upload just to the page unless you want the upload be directly accessible to all pages. -> see how to put up files
  • Often it is good to first create a new page for the upload, so comments and further contributions have their dedicated place.

• make sure that the file name of the upladed file doesn't contain empty spaces, underscores or special characters, otherwise it'll be hard to reference them later. It is recommended to tar the files.
