Page Comparison

...

• Page Format
  • You shouldn't make a text only page with no headings within the pages and no graphics.
  • You shouldn't try and make your page stand alone. Reference other existing pages in the wiki for clarity.
• Content
  • You shouldn't create pages with unrelated topics
  • You shouldn't make pages about your personal research.  Information about how you're using OpenSim belongs in the user's forum or on your personal SimTK project page.

Editing Toolbar:

...

You may notice there is not text size option in the toolbar.  The paragraph format changes the style and size of the text.  To change the paragraph format:

Image Removed	Click the arrow to open the drop down menu Select the desired size and style of your text

...

This controls the style and color of your text.  There is a lot of overlap with the text style and the paragraph format.  If the text when typed appears bold and nothing happens when you click the bold button in the toolbar try using the Paragraph Format drop down menu to select a normal font text.

...

These are toggle buttons to turn bullet/numbering on and off.  The default is for your text to be typed bold following a bullet or number.  To type normal text following a bullet/number type out your text, highlight it, and use the Paragraph Format to reselect paragraph option.

...

There are two types of paragraph indentations.  The left 2 buttons, Image Removed are the equivalent of pressing tab in a word document.  Because the wiki is an internet page the tab button with not indent the text.  The left 3 buttons, Image Removed control the indentation of the entire paragraph.  You can set it to align on the left, the right, or center it.

...

There are two main types of links.  There are link that move between pages and there are links that navigate to a different section of the same page.  To make links between pages:

The options discussed here will be the options that are unique to the wiki page format.  The wiki has elements called "Macros."  These macros are the aspects of the document that allow for navigating between sections on the same page, (making anchors) inserting a table of contents, an info or note textbox, and many more.
