Editing a page with source

You have a choice of Visual editing and edit source which can help with more sophisticated formatting if you need to make tables, or creating borders around images with varied spacing.

edit source 1.jpg

Creating a layout with borders around images and appropriate spacing can be troublesome in the Visual edit, particularly if the images are of varied sizes and need defining.



Boxes

  • If you want a grey box around some code or text, write the source edit as:
edit source 2 pre.jpg


[[File:insert image ABC.jpg|frame|400x400px]]


The code for the instructions on this page looks like this:

edit source 3.jpg
  • The code for a blue box is
{| class="border-blue, bluebox"
|<big>You are welcome to join by logging in to the wiki and add information or new projects. Just enrol, then log in to the wiki and start adding to it.</big> 
|- }
|}

Linking an image to a page

If you have an image which you wish to link to a page of information, like the welcome and introduction box, write the code like this:

[[Image:Welcome - wiki.jpg|center|600x600px|link=Help:Training_Centre|alt=Training Centre |click here for Training Centre]]]
Training Centre

Other Useful Tricks
