---+ <nop>GoodStyle Collaboration Tips
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
* TWiki has a very simple *[[TWikiShorthand][text formatting shorthand]]*. In any case, you won't go wrong if you simply:
|
||
|
|
* start each line without spaces
|
||
|
|
* separate paragraphs with a blank line
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run together capitalized words to form *[[WikiWords][WikiWords]]:*
|
||
|
|
* WikiWords automatically appear as hyperlinks
|
||
|
|
* make up meaningful, reasonably brief Wiki names - it can be a challenge (it'll sharpen you up!)
|
||
|
|
* WikiWords has name-creation tips that may help

#SignAndDate
|
||
|
|
* If a *discussion* is going on:
|
||
|
|
* separate each follow-up with a space
|
||
|
|
* add your WikiName and the date at the end. Example:%BR%
|
||
|
|
=-- <nop>%WIKIUSERNAME% - %SERVERTIME{$day $mon $year}%=
|
||
|
|
* OR, by all means, insert your comment where it seems to fit best:
|
||
|
|
* you may want to inset it with a bullet and/or _set it in italics_ so it's clear (always sign and date)
|
||
|
|
* if you'd like to use an initial, use a link with label. Example:%BR%
|
||
|
|
=-- [<nop>[%WIKIUSERNAME%][ZXQ]] - %SERVERTIME{$day $mon $year}%=
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A good format for a *new topic* is "dissertation followed by discussion":
|
||
|
|
* start with a brief, factual introduction, followed by double horizontal rules
|
||
|
|
* let the discussion begin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When a discussion dies down and the page becomes static, if you're clear on your course, feel free to *refactor mercilessly*:
|
||
|
|
* fearlessly edit down to capture the key points
|
||
|
|
* reduce the noise without losing the facts or the flavor
|
||
|
|
* if you merge or delete comments, group credit =Contributors:= at the end of the page
|
||
|
|
* _This is how Wiki content matures and grows in value over time._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* For *external site links*, you can type URLs directly into the text - =http://etcete.ra/...= - it'll be clear to anyone where they're headed on click.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* TWiki is intended for world-wide use, and an internationally understood date format like ==01 Sep 2003== or ==2003/09/01== is preferred. It's clearer than the xx/xx/xx format, where a date like 9/1/01 can mean either Jan or Sep, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* *TIP:* Check the source when you want to find out how something is formatted: click ==Edit== on the lower toolbar. To see earlier versions, click ==More==, then check ==Raw text format== and click ==View revision==. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with TWikiShorthand how far that is from necessary.
