Authors guide
Insert non-formatted text hereSo, you want to add useful stuff to our wiki.
This page will include most of the information you need to create and maintain articles.
Creating articles
There are a couple of ways to create a new article.
- Create a link to it from another page, then visit the link:
[[New article name|Link title]]
- Manually create the URL and click edit:
http://www.earlsoft.co.uk/hashvb/New_article_name
Sections
Section headers are created using a number of = characters before and after the section name. These go from top level sections down to minor sections:
= Level 1 section = ====== Level 6 section ======
If you have more than 3 sections then a table of contents will automatically appear at the top showing links to each section.
Sample code
If you have code that you want to appear using a monospaced font and in a box then you can precede every line with a space character or surround the code in <pre> and </pre> tags.
Categories
You can assign an article to a particular category using the following syntax:
[[Category:Category name]]
Please note that for VB6 and VB.NET, we have special templates which automatically include these. These are {{VB6}} and {{VB.NET}} which should be included at the very top of the article.
