<nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>
 
Becomes a link to the [[Main Page]] of this Wiki.

A postfix added right after a normal internal link is added to the written word in the final document, but links to the page without the postfix.

Becomes: [[AAC#What's the best AAC encoder?|Read about the best AAC encoder]]
 
 
 
=External linking=
 
Remember to start with "<nowiki>http://</nowiki>".
 
 
 
; Bare URL

; Named link
 
<nowiki>[http://www.rarewares.org/ The best audio resource on the net]</nowiki>
 
Becomes [http://www.rarewares.org/ The best audio resource on the net]
 
 
=Lists=
 
 
==Bullet lists==
 
You can make bullet lists with "*".
 
<nowiki>* First level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>** Second level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>*** Third level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>* Another first level list object</nowiki>
 
 
* First level list object
 
** Second level list object
 
*** Third level list object
 
* Another first level list object
 
 
 
==Numbered lists==
 
You can make numbered lists with "#".
 
<nowiki># First level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>## Second level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>### Third level list object</nowiki>
 
<nowiki># Another first level list object</nowiki>
 
 
# First level list object
 
## Second level list object
 
### Third level list object
 
# Another first level list object

=Images=
 
You can insert images using the syntax:
 
<nowiki>[[Image:filename|options|caption text]]</nowiki>
 
The last item added will always be considered the caption text.
 
 
 
==Stans alone image==
 
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png]]
 
 
 
==Stans alone image with alt-text==
 
You add "|caption text" after the image link. This is the text most browsers will show when you hover over the image with the mouse.
 
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|The HA logo]]
 
 
 
==Image options==
 
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]
 
; thumbnail, thumb
 
: Generates an automatically resized thumbnail image (either reduced or enlarged).
 
: Caption text is displayed directly underneath. An "enlarge"-icon is added.
 
: If you do not specify where the image should be place it will be places to the right.
 
: Example to the right (in this example the image is enlarged because it is small):
 
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|thumb|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
 
 
 
; right
 
: Makes the image right-aligned.
 
 
 
; left
 
: Same as above, but left aligned.
 
 
 
; center
 
: Same as above, but centered.
 
 
 
; none
 
: The image will be rendered inline, even if the thumbnail-option is set.
 
 
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|frame|The HA logo]]
 
; frame
 
: The image will have a frame, regardless of whether it is a thumb, and the caption text will be included as a visible caption.
 
: Example to the right:
 
 
 
; ''size''px
 
: Renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. '150px').
 
: Height is computed to keep the aspect ratio (i.e. the shape of the image).
 
: This allows both size reduction and enlargement.
 
 
 
; Combining options
 
: You can combine the options as you like. Example (as you see below resizing is often not very good):
 
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|50px|left|none|The HA logo]]
 
 
 
<nowiki>[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]</nowiki>
 
[[Image:Small_HA_logo.png|none|frame|The HA logo]]

=Additional hints=
 
You can avoid that the wiki system proccessing the text (to avoid unwanted formatting) by putting <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> around the text you want to parse directly.
 
 
=Getting help=
 
If you need help to work with the wiki you can do the following:
 
* Post at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org in the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showforum=36 Wiki Forum]
 
* PM "Jan S." at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org
 
* Email Jan S. at [[Image:Email.png|Email.png]]
