Very good. Probably worth pointing out that this isn't compulsory - it's a guide, but if anyone
wants to just type up stuff in any format that's still good - we can get one of our Wiki Editors
to tidy it up later.

Obviously we can't force people to do it but it sure helps if things look uniform...

But those of us who are anal about it can just tidy up as it bugs us!

(I know I need )

You can use [noparse][/noparse] to force the forum software to show the vbCode.

By the way, there are more extensive Wiki formatting codes available that we might consider using
at some point. See NuWiki Syntax Guide for how to add table of content and section links to your
article.










muyongshi -

I knew there was a way but it has been 2 years since I last actively did html encoding. Need to
refresh myself!

If we get to the point where we need them we can definitely use them...my main concern is
uniformity and just the readability of it.

Oh, if you use the [h1], [h2], ..., [h7] heading formatting code, a table of content is
automatically created once you have more than 4 headings. The NuWiki syntax guide has more details.

See the new Dictionaries article using the heading codes.

Want to revise the formatting guide to take account of this?










roddy -

Yep, that's what I did here. The style on that box might need tweaking though . . .










muyongshi -

But they look so ugly! We need to start on a lower heading number then because starting with h1 is
just to large. h2 is even pushing it!










roddy -

Hit edit on the article I did above and see how that works, using the equals sign to format
headings. To be honest I can't remember how I did it, but it seems to have auto-generated the
content box ok.










muyongshi -

That's what I'm doing now and just playing around with it now. If the largest we use is h2 then it
will be fine I think (h2 directly corresponds to ==) but now the problem is that it puts huge gaps
in between the headings unless you put them on the same line which that just creates hassle. I
guess it will have to do as it is the most convenient way to create these tables...
