For those of you new to Outlaw Star.Net's Message board and to the wiki, I have designed a very basic guide to using PHP, HTML, and Wiki code for newbies.
In the old days of Outlaw Star.Net, the message board was hosted on ezboard, which used HTML. It it's current version, Outlaw Star.Net uses PHP code and the wiki uses it's own code for editing pages.
Some of them share the same codes, but sometimes have different ones or have their own exclusive ones.
Also, this can be used as a reference for other members as well, not just for newbies.
You probably want me to break down to it already, so here I go:
Contents |
Formatting Text
Bold text
HTML: <B>Bold</b> = Bold
PHP: [B]Bold[/B] = Bold
WIKI: '''Bold''' = Bold
Italic text
HTML: <i>Italic</i> = Italic
PHP: [i]Italic[/i] = Italic
WIKI: ''Italic'' = Italic
Underline
HTML: <u>underline</u> = underline
PHP: [u]underline[/u] = underline
WIKI: <u>underline</u> or <ins>inserted material</ins> = underline
Strikethrough
HTML: <s>strike out</s> = strike out
PHP: [s]strike out[/s] = strike out
WIKI: <s>strike out</s> or <del>Deleted material</del> = strike out
Small text
HTML: <small>Small text</small> = Small text
PHP: [small]Small text[/small] = Small text
WIKI: <small>Small text</small> = Small text
Big text
HTML: <big>big text</big> = big text
PHP: [big]big text[/big] = big text
WIKI: <big>big text</big> = big text
Right aligned text
HTML: <P ALIGN="RIGHT">Hello!</p> =Hello!
PHP: [right]Right Aligned Text[/right] =
Wiki:
Left aligned text
HTML: <P ALIGN="LEFT">Hello!</p> =Hello!
PHP: [left]Left Aligned Text[/left] =
Wiki:
Center aligned text
HTML: <P ALIGN="Center">Hello!</p> =Hello!
PHP: [center]Centered Text[/center] =
WIKI:
Quote
Note: We do not have a Quote Template up yet, so you can't see the effects of the code on the wiki. But at least blockquote works on the wiki.
HTML: <q>Quote</q> =
Quote
PHP: [quote]Quote[/quote] =
WIKI = {{Quotation|Quote|Whoeversaidit|Source}} = Template:Quotation
Typewriter Text
WIKI: <tt>monospace text</tt> = monospace text
WIKI: <code>computer code: int main()</code> = computer code: int main()
Spoiler
PHP: [spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler] =
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
WIKI2: {{endspoiler}} =
Spoilers end here.
Linking
Linking to a website
Note: Wiki and HTML must have the Http:// part of the web address added.
HTML: <a href="http://www.outlawstar.net">outlawstar.net</a> = outlaw star.net
PHP: [url=http://www.outlawstar.net]outlaw star.net[/url] = outlaw star.net
WIKI: [http://www.outlawstar.net outlaw star.net] = outlaw star.net
WIKI2: [http://www.outlawstar.net] = [1]
Linking e-mail
HTML: <a herf="mailto:emailaddress@emailaddress.com">Contact</a> = emailaddress@emailaddress.com
PHP: [email]email@email.com[/email] = email@email.com
WIKI: [mailto:email@email.com email@email.com] = email@email.com
WIKI 2: [mailto:emailaddress@emailaddress.com] = [2]
Linking/Creating a Wiki page
Note: Do not edit the new created page link (In red), it's there to be a example.
WIKI Link: [[Gene Starwind]] = Gene Starwind
WIKI Create new page: [[Page created to edit]] = Page created to edit
Redirecting
To redirect a Wiki page, say XGP to XGP15A-II, first create the page XGP. Edit the XGP page and put in #REDIRECT [[XGP15A-II]]. You can also redirect sections of a page. #REDIRECT XGP15A-II#history. However, if the section name changes, the redirect will lead to the top page instead.
Also do not use double redirects as they will not work.
Making lists
HTML and WIKI: <li> Gene Starwind =WIKI: * Gene Starwind =
- Gene Starwind
Letters list: <ol type="A"></ol>
Lowercase letters list: <ol type="a"></ol>
Roman numbers list: <ol type="I"></ol>
Lowercase Roman numbers list: <ol type="i"></ol>
Images
Please read the rules about images.
Posting a image
HTML: <img src="website address"></img>
PHP: [img]website address[/img]
WIKI: [[Image:wiki.png]]
Giving the image alternative text
HTML: <img src="website address" alt="Spots"></img>
WIKI: [[Image:wiki.png|jigsaw globe]]
Sound
No uploading of entire songs on the board or wiki. At best, you can upload with samples. You can link to uploading sites using the website link code above that has the song as these are usually temporary and no one might try to come after us. Warnings will be sent out for the usual stuff.
HTML:
WIKI: [[media:outlawstarnet.ogg|Sound]]
Symbols
Note: It seems our wiki does not translate the codes/tags for symbols right now (Wiki and HTML codes/tags for symbols are the same). Once this is fixed, I will add to this.
How are you making the code/tags show on the wiki?
In wiki, there are tags for this. To make code show, type in 'nowiki' with the HTML brackets <>. To end it, type /nowiki with the HTML brackets <>.
