14 | |||
15 | This page covers all the essential steps and tips you need to create great content in XWiki without any confusion. | ||
16 | |||
17 | == == | ||
18 | |||
19 | == 📎 **Attachments and Images** == | ||

25 | * Click **Edit** to enter the WYSIWYG editor. | ||
26 | * Click on the **Attachment** icon (📎 paperclip icon). | ||

37 | |||
38 | == ⚡ **Using the / Macro Shortcut** == | ||
39 | |||
40 | The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor: | ||
41 | |||
42 | * Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add. | ||
43 | * You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax. | ||
44 | * Example macros include: | ||
45 | ** /toc – Table of Contents | ||
46 | ** /box – Insert Box Macro | ||
47 | ** /gallery – Image Gallery | ||
48 | ** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text | ||
49 | ** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets | ||
50 | |||
51 | This shortcut dramatically speeds up editing, no need to memorize complicated wiki syntax. | ||
52 | |||

54 | |||
55 | == ✏️** Basic Formatting and Links (Quick Guide)** == | ||
56 | |||

74 | = ⚡**Guests can contribute** = | ||
75 | |||
76 | 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. | ||
77 | 1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content. | ||
78 | 1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features. | ||
79 | |||
80 | == **Content Guidelines** == | ||
81 | |||
82 | * 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. | ||
83 | * 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. | ||
84 | |||
85 | == **Directories and Page URLs** == | ||
86 | |||
87 | * 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. | ||
88 | |||
89 | |||
90 | |||
91 | == **XWiki Editing Modes** == | ||
92 | |||
93 | XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements: | ||
94 | |||
95 | * **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. citeturn0search0 | ||
96 | * **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. | ||
97 | * **Inline Form Editing**: Used primarily for pages containing structured data or custom applications, this mode presents editable fields directly within the page view, streamlining data entry and updates. | ||
98 | |||
99 | == **Essential Formatting Options** == | ||
100 | |||
101 | To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques: | ||
102 | |||
103 | * **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. | ||
104 | |||
105 | {{code}} | ||
106 | + Heading Level 1 | ||
107 | ++ Heading Level 2 | ||
108 | +++ Heading Level 3 | ||
