This brief help provides guidelines for editing content on the OSUPDocs wiki pages and also suggests styles to keep the documentation consistent. For more details on this wiki system, you can use the links in the MediaWiki Help section.
Sections
The title of each page is the largest section. All major sections on a page are created with
== Major Section ==
Subsection are created with
==== Major Section ====
The reason 4 equal signs instead of 3 are used for subsections is the the font style assigned to section with 3 equal signs seems a little two large. Sub-sub sections should be uncommon.
Equations
These pages support embedded LaTeX content. The LaTeX content can be inserted using a <math>...</math> element. This content can be inserted within a line or on a line by itself as an equation. The use within a line should be minimized because the LaTeX output does not align well with regular text. When used on a line by itself, the style of these pages is to indent by five space, which can be done using
<math>...</math>
on lines by themselves.
Citing References
This pages support a simple referencing system. To cite a reference one time, insert
<ref>(text to appear in the references list)</ref>
at the location of the citation.
Finally to list all cited references for the page, include the following section at the end of the page:
== References == <references/>
