Pictures

To add a picture use the upload file form, then use the syntax [[Image:File.jpg]]

ex: If I upload the image Med_board.jpg, to place it I would simply write [[Image:Med_board.jpg]] giving me:

If I want just a thumbnail instead I would use the syntax: [[Image:File.jpg|thumb|Caption text]]

ex: for a thumbnail of the above image I would type [[Image:Med_board.jpg|thumb|Caption text]] giving me:

Gallery

To make a gallery, use the syntax :

<gallery Caption="name of gallery">
Image:image.jpg|caption text
Image:image.jpg|caption text
Image:image.jpg|caption text
Image:image.jpg|caption text
Image:image.jpg|caption text
Image:image.jpg|caption text
</gallery>

Ex: If I type

<gallery Caption="Build Phases">
Image:phase-1.jpg|Phase 1
Image:phase-2.jpg|Phase 2
Image:phase-3.jpg|Phase 3
Image:phase-2.jpg|caption text
Image:phase-3.jpg|caption text
Image:phase-3.jpg|caption text
</gallery>

I get:

Build Phases

Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3	caption text
caption text	caption text

Links

Internal Links

• To add a link to another page on this site you will write [[Name of page]]

ex: For a link to the specifications page I would write [[Build-phases]], where "Build-phases" is the title of the page, and it would give me the link:

Build-phases

---

• If you want to have some text display instead of the name of the page you are linking to like a html link you will use the syntax [[Name of page | Display Text]]

ex: For a link to the specifications page, but displaying some text other than the title of the page, I would write [[Build-phases | Project Phases]], where "Build-phases" is the title of the page, and "Project Phases" is the text I want to become the link, and it would give me the link:

Project Phases

External Links

• For an external link you can use the code [http://www.someurl.org]

ex: If I want to link to some other web address like google.com, I would write [http://www.google.com], giving me the link:

[1]

---

• For an external link with display text you will use the code [http://www.someurl.org display text]

ex: ex: If I want to link to some other web address like google.com, but show some display text like "Google", I would write [http://www.google.com Google], giving me the link:

Google
