15 The example macro in XWiki is an underrated powerhouse—great for *teaching*, *showcasing macros*, *hiding complex markup*, and *letting users play with source-output pairs*. Here are some **highly effective and interesting uses**:

19 == ⚡ **Using the / Macro Shortcut** ==
20
21 The / macro shortcut is a powerful and quick way to insert macros while editing pages in XWiki's WYSIWYG editor:
22
23 * Simply type / and start typing the macro name or feature you want to add.
24 * You'll see suggestions appear as you type. Select the macro to insert it directly without manual syntax.
25 * Example macros include:
26 ** /toc – Table of Contents
27 ** /box – Insert Box Macro
28 ** /gallery – Image Gallery
29 ** /footnote – Add footnotes to your text
30 ** /code – Code blocks for programming snippets
31
32 This shortcut dramatically speeds up editing, no need to memorize complicated wiki syntax

38 In this section we will go over many of the common macros used. The source code is how you use the macro editing in Wiki mode. If you are doing standard WYSIWYG edit mode (the default mode you get when you click edit instead of the dropdown), you can call most of these macros by simply typing /thecommand

201
202 * **Save drafts frequently:** Press Ctrl+S regularly.
203 * **Macros** greatly simplify content formatting—use / often.
204 * **Edit attachments:** Hover attachments directly below your page in view mode to manage or delete them.
205 * **Use minimal formatting** to ensure readability.

211 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.
212 1. Use Your Sandbox on the left, mess around with macros and other editing options. There's a lot of options to customize content.
213 1. Leave comments, give suggestions, request features.
214
215 == **Content Guidelines** ==
216
217 * 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.
218 * 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.
219
220 == **Directories and Page URLs** ==
221
222 * 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.
223
224
225
226 == **XWiki Editing Modes** ==
227
228 XWiki offers multiple editing modes to accommodate various user preferences and technical requirements:
229
230 * **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
231 * **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.
232
233 == **Essential Formatting Options** ==
234
235 To ensure content is both engaging and accessible, utilize the following formatting techniques:
236
237 * **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.
238
239 {{code}}
240 + Heading Level 1
241 ++ Heading Level 2
