<sidebar>UGR Report Template Nav</sidebar> Instructions for creating your web based wiki report To create you web based report, you need to know a few tricks in WikiSpeak. Just edit this page and copy and paste from here to your new pages.

  • To create a new page, edit the page where the link should be and use the wiki syntax: New Page. When you click on New Page it will automatically create the page for you if it doesn't exist. Edit this page to see the syntax.
  • For main headings on the same page, use the == around the heading name. This will create sub-pages automatically.
  • For Bullets, use * or ** for multiple levels
  • Link to URL Example
  • To link to an uploaded file (PDF for example)
    • Click on the "Upload File" link in the "toolbox" on the left side of the page
    • Link to PDF Example
  • Insert an image
    Zach and his Robot
    • Click on the "Upload File" link in the "toolbox" on the left side of the page
    • Browse to the image.
    • There are several syntax examples on the Upload page to use depending on how you want the image to render
