About OLPC

  • If you wish to show other text instead of the page name [[Some Random Page|text you want to display]]
  • External URLs are linked automatically: http://www.google.com

Lists

  • Lines beginning with one or more * characters are unnumbered lists
  1. Use # characters for numbered lists.
    1. Go deeper with more #'s or *'s
  • Use newlines to start a new list
    • Example

Sections

  • Text like ==A Section== is a section heading. They automatically appear in the Contents box.
  • Use more = characters for subsections.

Lousy Memory?

  • If this is too hard to remember, just use the pretty buttons at the top of the editing box.
    • One advantage of logging in, instead of editing anonymously, is you get many more pretty buttons
  • The "Editing help" link at the bottom of the editing page tells of more options.
