WIKITEXTACTIVITY

=**__ Why Wikitext??? __**= An advanced technique could be the use of Wikitext to do formatting that cannot be done with the edit bar. Wikitext is another markup language (like HTML) but is used with mediawikis such as Wikispaces. The following activity will allow you to get acquainted with how to use Wikitext and to see the new results as soon as you save the page. If you need help with any of the following, you can access this information from http://help.wikispaces.com/Wikitext?f=print You will notice the use of `` (backticks) in this activity. The backticks make sure that any symbols that the wiki could interpret as Wikitext are not interpreted that way. Testing Formatting -- use the following single or pairs of symbols below to get th=e proper formatting:Bold (use 2 double asterisks without spa=ce on either side)Italics (use 2 forward slashes without space on either side)Underline (use 2 underscores without space on either side)He//ading 1 (use1 equal sign without space on either// side)Heading 2 (use 2 equal signs without space on either side)Heading 3 (use 3 equal signs without space on either side)List 1 * (use space and left side only)List 2 **(use space and left side only)List 3 * (use space and left side only)Numbered 1 # (use space and left side only)Numbered 2 ## (use space and left side only)Numbered** 3 ### (use space and left side only)Indent 1 > (use space and left side** only)Indent 2 >> (use space and left side only)Indent 3 >>> (use space and left side only)Horizontal line Testing Links --Page name within your wiki -- format example name of one of your pagesLink to another wiki's page -- format example WikiName/use my Adding Content pageURL -- format example use the URL for the schoolEmail -- format example mailto/use your email address Testing Images --If you already have an image on one of your pages, you should be able to see its name if you click on the Pages and Files link on the left navigation bar. If you do not have one, you will need to upload one to your Wikispaces site. ex. copy_code.jpg is an image on the ITGS 2012 wiki. If you want to include that image on your Wikitext Activity page, you would type (without the two backticks on either side of the brackets) and your image should appear like this: Testing Tables --You should be able to create a table of 3 columns if you type what you want (instead of table cell) || table cell || table cell || table cell ||(without the two backticks on either side of the brackets) and your image should appear like this: Testing Miscellaneous --Try a couple of these for yourself and don't forget to take out the backticks!Page count {pagesinspace}Appears like this:{pagesinspace}Date {$revisiondate}Appears like this:Jan 9, 2012 11:35 amSignature user:itgs2010kjohnsonAppears like this: - [|itgs2010] kjohnson
