The Wiki is in its early stages. I will build a help file once I become more familiar with its use. In the interim I would strongly suggest that you visit the following link:

Creating a Table

Beginning the Table

  • Start by using one of our templates named "Prettytable"
  • Begin the table template by using two braces " {{ "
  • Type the name of the table: Prettytable
  • End the table template with two braces going the opposite way " }} "
  • The braces " { " are just above the enter key, are also with the brackets " [ " and are used with the shift button


Table syntax

  • A table consists of rows and columns
  • Each row is started with " |- "
  • The first character is the shift of the " \ " directly above the enter key
  • The second character is a dash, or minus sign
  • Each column is separated by two lines: " || "


Example

" |- "

" ||Department||Frequency||Tone||District "


Additional Syntax

  • You can use some HTML code in wiki pages
  • To center your text in the rows use: " align="center" "
  • To add a background color to your rows use: " style="background:#ff7777" "
