--The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
--
--* Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
--* You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
--* Example macros include:
--** /toc – Table of Contents
--** /box – Insert Box Macro
--** /gallery – Image Gallery
--** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
--** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets

--
--= ⚡**Guests can contribute** =
--
--1. Guests can edit pages in the main content area without signing up. If this becomes problematic I'll change it but for now I'd like everyone to have access with as little trouble as possible.
--1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
--1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
--
--== **Content Guidelines** ==
--
--* Ensure your content is well-researched, you don't need to include references in the format of footnotes for your material, but you should try to include studies or links to give credibility to your claims. For instance, just claiming that [[IQ is genetic>>doc:Main Categories.Science & Research.Race & IQ.WebHome]] is genetic wouldn't be valid unless you provide a study backing up that assertion, or more likely link to a page within this site that explains why IQ is not something that is purely determined by environmental factors. If such a page doesn't exist, create it, and start providing studies that show this.
--* Use clear, concise language and avoid using slurs, slang, or troll like language. This isn't supposed to be encyclopedia dramatica, I'd like things to remain relatively mature and well thought out.
--
--== **Directories and Page URLs** ==
--
--* The categories I have made up should cover most content, but if you feel your content doesn't fit under them, feel free to make a new category. Moving pages and reorganizing content in this wiki is very easy.
--
--
--
--== **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
--
--XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:
--
--* **WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor**: Ideal for users unfamiliar with wiki syntax, this editor provides a user-friendly interface resembling traditional word processors. It allows for straightforward text formatting, image insertion, and link creation without delving into markup language. citeturn0search0
--* **Wiki Editor**: This mode enables direct editing using XWiki’s markup syntax. It’s suitable for users comfortable with wiki syntax and those requiring precise control over the content structure.
--
--== **Essential Formatting Options** ==
--
--To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:
--
--* **Headings**: Organize content hierarchically using headings. In XWiki syntax, headings are defined by one to six plus signs (+), corresponding to heading levels 1 to 6.
--
--{{code}}
--  + Heading Level 1
--  ++ Heading Level 2
--  +++ Heading Level 3
--{{/code}}
--
--
--== **Links** ==
--
--
--
--==== **Internal Link**: Use square brackets with the page name. ====
--
--{{code}}
--[[PageName]]
--{{/code}}
--
--
--
--==== **External Link**: Provide the URL directly. ====
--
--{{code}}
--[https://www.example.com]

--
--== **Utilizing XWiki Macros** ==
--
--Macros are powerful tools in XWiki that allow for dynamic content inclusion and advanced formatting. Here are ten notable macros to consider:
--
--== Embed Macro ==
--
--The Embed macro shows external content like YouTube videos.
--

--=== **Info Macro**: Displays an informational message, often used for tips or notes. ===
--
--{{code}}
--{{info}}
--This is an informational note.
--{{/info}}
--{{/code}}
--
--
--== Footnote Macro ==
--
--The Footnote macro adds footnotes to the page.
--
--{{example}}
--This is a statement{{footnote}}Source: Example Reference{{/footnote}}.
--{{putFootnotes/}}
--{{/example}}
--
--
--=== **Code Macro**: Renders code snippets with syntax highlighting. ===
--
--{{code}}
--{{code language="python"}}
--def hello_world():
--    print("Hello, world!")
--{{/code}}
--{{/code}}
--

--=== **Gallery Macro**: Creates an image gallery from attached images. ===
--
--{{code}}

--=== **TOC (Table of Contents) Macro**: Generates a table of contents based on page headings. ===

--1. **General Observations:**
--   - The study documents how the **heritability of IQ increases with age**, reaching an asymptote at **0.80 by adulthood**.
--   - Analysis is based on **longitudinal twin and adoption studies**.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - Shared environmental influence on IQ **declines with age**, reaching **0.10 in adulthood**.
--   - Monozygotic twins show **increasing genetic similarity in IQ over time**, while dizygotic twins become **less concordant**.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - Data from the **Louisville Longitudinal Twin Study and cross-national twin samples** support findings.
--   - IQ stability over time is **influenced more by genetics than by shared environmental factors**.
