Editing the Wiki

Type: Project Documentation

Member: Zenzan

Summary: Notes on editing the wiki, I'll turn it into a how to at once I've learned enough.

Notes:

Initial Steps

Github - you've got to create a user account and then get permissions to modify documentation for the     "organization" in this case PHS Github repository (place where we keep all our stuff)

Editing or making a wiki page.

Github uses a syntax for defining elements in a page. (Called Markup) and they have their own flavour GitHub Form Markup (Or something like that) AKA GFM, got to love TLA's.

So to cheat I grabbed a program called HarooPad. This is kinda like a word processor for this kind of thing, shows you the "code" and the end result in a side by side window.

My master plan was to make a wiki page, offline and then dunp it into Github, rather than make loads of changes all the time and end up with a really cluttered history. Unfortunately HarooPad didn't do the lists/line breaks the way I've wanted so ended up dumping a load of changes in to try make it work. That will be the next thing to learn.

Learned so far:

This is stoopid, Carriage Return should work, but it doesn't for some reason.

''' is used to quote things I think

#is used for H1 (Heading 1)

= Heading 2 etc.

= Italics Maybe

= Bold text

= Block Quote
