rPath Community:Wiki

From rPath Wiki

rPath Wiki is based on MediaWiki software. Wiki software facilitates a collaborative documentation environment in which users can contribute content and provide feedback. rPath has extended the wiki to further enhance content and feedback.

The Wiki Talk Pages feature has been replaced by dedicated forum software at forum.rpath.com.

rPath Templates

rPath templates are maintained to enhance wiki content. The following templates can be used in the Forums and Talk pages in addition to when creating and editing wiki pages:

highlight

Use this to highlight specific text. Use double curly braces around the text, and precede the text with highlight|:

{{highlight|This is highlighted text.}}

This is highlighted text.

help

Use this to add a highlighted help inquiry to a page. Use double curly braces around the comment or question, and precede the text with help|:

{{help|This step has changed.}}

HELP! This step has changed.

rITS

Use this to reference an issue in the rPath Issue Tracking System, powered by JIRA software. Use double curly braces around the issue key, and precede the text with rits|:

{{rits|DOC-101}}

DOC-101

Tables

The Tables page at wikimedia.org provides a comprehensive look at the options available for formatting tables with MediaWiki markup. rPath often makes use of the nice table template to help with some basic formatting of the table. Copy the following code as a starter:

{| {{nice table}}
! Heading 1
! Heading 2
|-
| Row 1 Column 1
| Row 2 Column 1
|-
| Row 1 Column 2
| Row 2 Column 2
|}

A complex table

HTML is:

<table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr><td colspan=2>1</td><td>2</td><td rowspan=2>3</td><td>4</td><td rowspan=5>5</td></tr>
<tr><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td></tr>
<tr><td>10</td><td colspan=2 rowspan=2>11</td><td colspan=2>12</td></tr>
<tr><td rowspan=2>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=3>16</td><td>17</td></tr>
</table>

in MediaWiki code it is:

{| border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-
|colspan=2 | 1 || 2 
|rowspan=2 | 3 || 4
|rowspan=5 | 5
|-
| 6 || 7 || 8 || 9
|-
| 10 
|colspan=2 rowspan=2 | 11
|colspan=2 | 12
|-
|rowspan=2 | 13 || 14 || 15
|-
|colspan=3 | 16 || 17
|}

Using Images

   

{{Click || image=Info.png | link=Main_Page | width=30px | height=30px }} A direct link!

The above template links to any image and uses any link you'd like to use. Default is the help image. To link to other pages and other images, substitute in that information above. For example, {{Click || image=Gnome-help.png | link=rPath_Community | width=30px | height=30px }} A direct link! would look as follows:
