Tags, wikilinks and stuff
There are certain tags which will effect words they are "wrapped around":
Formatting of words
The ' are used in formatting words:
- ''Italics'' (2x ') will make Italics
- '''Bold''' (3x ') to write in Bold
- '''''Hi all!''''' (5x ') will print Hi all!
Placing headlines
Headlines come in various sizes.
== Level 2 == === Level 3 === ==== Level 4 ==== ===== Level 5 ===== ====== Level 6 ======
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
How to wikify
This is probably the most important of the tags. To wikify a sentence means to make the sentence link to the corresponding article on the mersennewiki. This is done by putting [[ and ]] around the word.
An example:
"The person who runs the [[GIMPS]] project is [[George Woltman]]"
will make:
"The person who runs the GIMPS project is George Woltman".
It it also possible to link to another article. That is done by using | inside the [[ ]] to seperate link and word.
An example would be:
"Certain [[Lucas-Lehmer test|tests]] are used in [[GIMPS]], which is the biggest mathematical [[Distributed computing project|project]]"
which would turn up as:
"Certain tests are used in GIMPS, which is the biggest mathematical project"
Links
To add a link to a page outside mersennewiki you could either just type the URL:
"To get more info, please visit http://www.mersenneforum.org"
or you could make a description by putting it in the form [link title]. That would turn
"To get more info, please visit [http://www.mersenneforum.org the Official forum]"
into "To get more info, please visit the Official forum"
Math symbols
To write mathematical formulas, insert <math> and </math> around your formula.
For example
"The [[Sierpiński problem]] is about numbers of the form <math>k*2^n+1</math>"
would show
- "The Sierpiński problem is about numbers of the form [math]\displaystyle{ k*2^n+1 }[/math]"
