26. Tony's Hints

  Here are some things that I found myself to be quite useful.

  • When editing - use the Preview button often - particularly if you can put the preview into a separate tab. This will quickly let you see which links work and don't work.
  • Consider using the WYSIWYG button instead of the Edit button. The WYSIWYG button brings up a "What You See is What You Get" editor. This will take a little bit of learning but some people may find it a better way to work. See WysiwygPlugin for details on this editor. Note does not work on Safari. Mac uses can use Mozilla.
  • If you attach images they can appear nicely within the page.

26.48. Smilies.

You can use the standard "Smilies" - such as smile , thumbs up etc. See SmiliesPlugin

26.49. Tables.

If you are adding tables, use the EditTablePlugin. An example appears below.

Also for tables - you can use spreadsheet operations. See SpreadSheetPlugin. Note that unfortunately, the EditTablePlugin and

 SpreadSheetPlugin plugins don't interact nicely - as the edit table plugin does not see the spreadsheet plugin contents, just the values and will put the wrong values into the table (the results of the spreadsheet table calculations rather then the formular.

Editable table example with summing row.

26.51. Numbered Headings

This page is using numbered headers. A basic numbered header could be done by inserting the following into the header

%CALC{$SETM(nh,+1)$GET(nh).}%
Here - nh is a variable which is maintaining the number. So a typical header might look like
---+++ %CALC{$SETM(nh,+1)$GET(nh).}% Other things.
To get other levels of headers, you have to combined multiple of these using different variable, for example
---++++ %CALC{$GET(nh).}%%CALC{$SETM(nh2,+1)$GET(nh2).}%  Numbered Headings
Here nh2 is the header for the second level. In this example, you want a different variable for each lower level header, through there is probably a SET command you could use to avoid this.

General Introduction.

A TWiki is a collaboration platform - it provides a Web site which try to make it easy for any (authorized) person to change. TWiki is a form of a Wiki - by that I mean it is a set of software which implements a "Wiki", a now common style of application.

TWiki has change control and the ability to upload images and other documents.
