[edit] Recommended Markup

Please follow these recommendations when adding content/modifying existing content so we maintain some sort of consistency.

[edit] Paths

Use
<code>..</code>
to highlight file- and folder-names and paths in the text. Don't use italics or bold.

[edit] Code

We have installed SyntaxHighlight GeSHi -extension to make code look prettier. See extensions homepage for instructions how to format the code with it.

Shortly, add your code like this:

 <source lang="cpp">
 Your code...
 </source>

different languages the extension recognizes can be found from its home page.

[edit] Styling

[edit] Tables

For nicer tables use the wikitable class:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! header 1
! header 2
! header 3
|-
| row 1, cell 1
| row 1, cell 2
| row 1, cell 3
|-
| row 2, cell 1
| row 2, cell 2
| row 2, cell 3
|}
header 1 header 2 header 3
row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 1, cell 3
row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2 row 2, cell 3

[edit] Notes and Warnings

<div class="note">This is a note...</div>
This is a note...
<div class="warning">This is a warning...</div>
This is a warning...

[edit] Templates

[edit] Tracker Shortcuts

You could use Tracker Shortcuts Templates for our nicer Tracker item URLs:

  • {{Bug|bug-id|link text}}
  • {{Patch|patch-id|link text}}
  • {{Support|support-id|link text}}
  • {{RFE|rfe-id|link text}}
  • {{Todo|todo-id|link text}}

For example: {{Todo|1424292|#1424292 Update diffutils engine}}
