Page Creation Tools
Wiki Extensions
A number of "extensions" have been installed on this wiki to aid usability or to provide additional formatting options for page authors. The following paragraphs provide a brief overview of each and its use, although you should refer to the extension's official description page for full details.
Cite
Content to be advised.
Full details: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php
Syntax Highlight
This adds a <syntaxhighlight> tag that can be used to enclose a code snippet and apply syntax coloring. Over 100 different programming and scripting languages are supported. Among the features that the page author can control are:
- Selection of language (affects how coloring is applied)
- Addition of line numbers (and setting the starting line number)
- Highlighting of a specified line in the code
The following example shows how to color a code snippet using HML markup and illustrates the use of line numbering and highlighting of a specific line:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict" line start="100" highlight="5"> HTML snippet goes here... </syntaxhighlight>
A typical result would be:
<table align=center style="background: ivory;color:maroon;font-style:italic;font-family:arial;font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;">
<tr><th> Heading 1 </th><th> Heading 2 </th></tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:10px;"> This is cell 1 text </td>
<td style="padding:10px;"> This is cell 2 text </td>
</tr>

WikiEditor
WikiEditor is part of the Usability Initiative improvements that are in development for Mediawiki v1.17. It has been adopted here in its beta state since it offers a significant improvement over the standard wiki editor and places far less reliance on the author's knowledge of wiki markup. This makes the wiki more accessible to novice users as the formatting tools will be relatively familiar to anyone who has used Microsoft Word, Open Office Writer or similar applications.
