Edit
You may use source or visual editor. Typically I recommend "Edit Source" which has advanced options too. You just have to remember some (simple) syntax. If you have a picture however, use "Edit" instead of Edit source, you can paste it directly (it will ask you to upload)
Basic
a white space in the beginning of sentence creates a "frame box" or preformatted.
a white space in the beginning of sentence creates a box.
"*" a star gives a list (no white space in the beginning) "**" indents
How to create an internal link
[[tutorials:page_name|link_name]]> which gives link_name
where tutorials is a spacename (group/folder), page_name is whatever you like. Please use these namespaces matching the groups on the sidebar:
software, tutorials, ammm, misc, projects
ammm is for advanced mol mod method course projects for different research projects
If the page doesn't exist, you will be able to create it.
How to create an external link
[http://www.somexyz.org Link_name], which gives a link to external website. or [http://www.google.com], which gives [1] or give the address http://.... directly
To list available pages in a namespace (like research)
click on special pages, then all pages and choose "Research" from the pull down.
How to upload file
lick on Upload file on the side bar, or alt-u you can link to the file after you uploaded it by specifying [[ File:File.pdf ]] in your page.
To change the sidebar: Mediawiki:Sidebar
Table

Image
To display images, first upload the images.
Point to the uploaded files, images or pdf etc.

* [[Image:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file * [[Image:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description * [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
