| ==help on the content==

| |
| ===Creating content (basic)===
| |
| Creating your own content is easy. You can edit any page by clicking on '''Edit this page (bottom or sidebar)''' . You can comment on any page by
| |
| clicking on '''Discuss Page (bottom or sidebar)''' or '''Post a Comment (sidebar)'''. After you add your content sign it by clicking on the '''signature button''' (the second button from the right on top) then '''save page (bottom)'''.
| |
|
| |
| ====creating content in your webspace====
| |
| 1st make sure you are logged in.
| |
| To write in your page click on your username at the top of the page. Click on edit this page. Just start writing at the top of the page. Your prior writing will be pushed down and your most current writing will always be at the top of the page. Start a new paragraph by skipping a line. Don't indent. Hit '''save page''' (at the bottom of the page) to save your work. Do it often!
| |
|
| |
| ====making a table of contents and titles/heading====
| |
| To organize your work give each piece of writing its own title. To create a title, type, on its own line:<br>
| |
| <nowiki>==your title here==</nowiki>
| |
| =====making <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>=====
| |
| put that at the top of your page
| |
|
| |
| ====don't erase your work====
| |
| Researchers say students learn to write better by seeing the progress of their writing as they revise. Please don't erase anything.
| |
| When you revise copy your existing work and paste it above. Edit the heading. Like...<br>
| |
| <nowiki>==my piece -version 2==</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| ====taking notes, creating lists====
| |
| To organize your notes you can use bullet lists and numbered lists. To create a bullet list like this
| |
| *first point
| |
| *onother point
| |
| *etc
| |
| just start a line with an *
| |
| <br>For a numbered list
| |
| #first
| |
| #second
| |
| #third
| |
| just start each line with a # symbol (don't skip lines)
| |
|
| |
| ====creating a subdirectory in your webspace====
| |
| Most of your work will be collected by writing project. Each writing project will be in its own subdirectory. In the url you will see: http://pathboston.com/hum/username/aproject.
| |
| to set up a subdirectory put this code in your webspace:
| |
| <pre>===[[/a project name]]===</pre>
| |
| (the / is important)
| |
| Save the page and then click on the new link to get into the directory.
| |
|
| |
| ====writing a poem====
| |
| If you don't skip a line the text on the next line always 'wraps' to follow the text on the line above. Sometimes that's not cool,like for a poem. To avoid word wrap you can use
| |
| <pre>
| |
| <poem>
| |
| Here is a poem
| |
| It is not very poetic
| |
| Is it
| |
| </poem>
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
| Another way to prevent word wrap is to put <nowiki> <br> </nowiki> at the end of a line. The next line will stay on the next line when you save.
| |
|
| |
| Another way to prevent word wrap is to just skip a line.
| |
|
| |
| ==== using the graphical editor====
| |
| A graphical editor is slower. If you really want to use a graphical editor see me and I'll set it up.
| |
|
| |
| ==== if the internet is s l o w ====
| |
| Write in Word. Single spaced, do not indent first lines, skip lines between paragraphs. Copy and paste into the wiki when you are done.
| |
|
| |
| ==using built in citation/bibliography==
| |
|
| |
| {{:hum4:example:citations}}
| |
|
| |
| {{:hum4:create a gmail/blogger account}}
| |
| {{:hum4:create a wiki account}}
