Formatting rules for UseModWiki

Here are some formatting rules and how to use guide for UseModWiki :-

- Creating a new page
Every Wiki page has an edit button. Click on the edit button and type a wiki word. A wiki word starts with a capital letter and has at least one more capital letter in it. Between the capitals there must be lower case letters. There cannot be two capitals in a row.

e.g. MyWord will bw displayed as MyWord?
Now click on the ? to go to the wiki page

- See the Recent Changes
Type in the URL as http://localhost/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RecentChanges

The Recent Changes page shows the dates on which the individual pages have been updated.

- Editing Content
Click the edit button on a wiki page. Input the contents in the text field and press the save button.

- Create Links
Page Link: wiki words are treated as links to the corresponding wiki pages.

External Link : use the corresponding URL e.g. http://c2.com

- Search content
Enter the key word that needs to be searched in the text field labelled search at the end of the wiki page.

- Creating Inter Wiki
Our wiki can refer to pages in other Wikis. Edit intermap file in cgi-bin folder and add the entry for the mapping. It contains the mapping for the key word and the corresp URL.

e.g.: UseMod? is the key word and the URL is http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?. Now if we want to refer to a page WhatIsaWiki? in the wiki http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl, we just need to refer it as follows: UseMod:WhatIsaWiki

- Having a non-wiki word as a link
[http://c2.com/ppr/about/author/martin.html Martin Fowler] will be displayed as [Martin Fowler]

- Sub Pages
The [SubPage] - [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SubPage SubPage] idea allows every main page to contain its own wiki universe of subpages. The subpages can be used to help refactor a large page without the problems /LongPrefixBeforeEachPage?.
