Windsorisms

TO DO:

Add related articles links.

To Begin

In order to begin editing, you must click the Edit button at the top right.

This button can also be found to the right of all section titles, and will allow you to edit only that specific section.

Text Formatting

Articles and titles within articles are to be done in Title Case.

Tool Functions, like Submit, will be emphasized with Bold Text

Phrases will be put into italics, to clarify messages that appear or steps that someone needs to complete.

E.g. If you see Course website not available ... your professor either is not using a website for this course or has not yet made his/her course website available to students... If you want to upload another file, select Add Another File and repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each file you would like to upload.

Text Formatting
Method	Syntax	Result	Notes
Italics	''This is a test''	This is a test	Add two apostrophes on either side of the text
Bold	'''This is a test'''	This is a test	Add three apostrophes on either side of text
Italics and Bold	'''''This is a test'''''	This is a test	Add two apostrophes, then add the three apostrophes, totaling five apostrophes on either side.
Disable Formatting	<pre>'''''This is a test'''''</pre*>	'''''This is a test'''''	To disable formatting in a section, add <pre> at the beginning and </pre> at the end. The "" must be deleted in order to use.
Superscript	x<sup>2</sup>	x²	Self explanatory.
Subscript	x<sub>2</sub>	x₂	Self explanatory.
Line break	Hello.<br />This is a test.	Hello. This is a test.	Self explanatory.

Lists

If you wish to create a list, there are a few options;

Bullet List:

*This is a test

This is a test
This is a test
This is a test

Add one asterisk at the start of the sentence to convert the line into a bullet point.

Numbered List:

#This is a test

This is a test
This is a test
This is a test

Add one hashtage at the start of the sentence to convert the line into a numbered list. If you insert a line space, the numbering will reset. In order to get around this, view the numbered advanced section.

Numbered List Advanced:

<ol>
<li>This the first step is selected.</li>
</ol>

<ol start="2">
<li>This is the second step</li>
</ol>

This the first step is selected.

This is the second step

This will allow you to describe which number you would like to start on. For example, if you are creating a guide and have described the first step followed by a picture, if you use the "#" syntax you will start back at number one again. This syntax will allow you to continue the list of numbers.

Section Formatting

Placing one equal sign ( = ) before and after your title will designate the largest and most significant section. More equal signs can be added up to five more on either side. The effect of adding additional equal signs is shown below:

In many WIKI pages, you may see banners used for section formatting as well. An example is shown below;

In order to use these colorful section dividers, you must understand how to alter the syntax.

===<div style="background-color:#CEE0F2;font-size:Medium;padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px; padding-left:5px"><font color="#000">This is a test</font></div>===

Under "background-color:" you can change the color of the banner. The color is described using hex codes. Navigate to this website to find the hex code of any color you would like: https://www.color-hex.com/

Under "font-size:", you can change the font size to the following options; Small, Medium, Large, x-Large.

Where "This is a test" is located, you can change the text to fit the section title.

How to Add Pictures to Article

1. The file must be uploaded.

2. The picture must be added to the WIKI page. This can be done in a variety of ways.

1. File Upload

Navigate to the column of hyperlinks on the left hand side. The third link from the bottom is labeled "Upload File". Select "Upload File".
In the new window, click "Choose File". Ensure that the screenshot is of proper format. If you cannot see the file extensions at the end of the file name, a guide to enable this feature is below.
After you have selected "Choose File". A new window will appear. Select your file. Right-click your file and select "Rename". You must rename this file to something unique and relevant to the article you are creating. This will make it easier to link later as well as to ensure there will be no files already uploaded with the same name. For example, in this file upload guide, the files have been named from "fileupload1" to "fileupload6".
Select open after selecting and renaming your file.
Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click "Upload File".

Step 1: Click File Upload
Step 2: Select Choose File
Step 3:
1. Click Image.
2. View Image Name.
3. Select Open
Step 4: Select Upload File

2. Adding Pictures to WIKI Page

The order of syntax when displaying an image is as follows;

[[File:Name|Type|Border|Location|Alignment|Size|link=Link|alt=Alt|page=Page|lang=Langtag|Caption]]

There are multiple formatting options when adding a picture to a WIKI page;

NOTE:All images are to contain captions, and alt tags.

Image Formatting
Method	Syntax	Result	Notes
Basic Picture	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg]]		Basic picture insert.
Thumb	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|thumb]]		Allows image to be enlarged. Sticks to right side of page.
Caption	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|thumb\|Hello]]	Hello	Allows image to be enlarged. Sticks to right side of page.
Alternative Text	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|alt=University of Windsor Logo]]		This must be included when inserting images. If the image were loaded in a text only browser, or spoken aloud, the purpose of the picture can remain intact, even if one cannot see the picture.
Resize	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|50 px]]		Allows the image to be resized.However, all thumb images have the same width and as result do not need to be resized.
Change Image Location	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|thumb\|left]]		Allows the image to be moved to the left, center/centre, or right of page.
Example with multiple syntax	[[File:Uwin logo.jpg\|thumb\|center\|100 px\|alt=University of Windsor Logo\|Hello]]	Hello	Example picture demonstrating order of syntax. For full syntax order, navigate the first paragraph of this section.
