Important: when uploading a file (M files should be ok to upload now) give it a unique name. All files are saved in one directory, so if you give it a name that other people already used then you are going to overwrite the other file.
To add your page:
- Add your name to the list of Project Pages (on this page).
- Secure your page by adding password for editing and/or viewing:
- Move to your page and then add at the end of the URL the following:
?action=attr - Put in place password for read access to your page. (if you want to hide it)
- Put in place password for editing/uploading/attr (changing password). You can use the same password for all.
- To remove password portection put the word clear as a password.
- Move to your page and then add at the end of the URL the following:
- You can now edit your page , put your code there, upload images and other files etc.
How to upload a file? (up to 20MB)
- Add your file in the following format:
[[(Attach:)FileName.ext | File Title ]] - Save the page.
- You will see your file name with a little triangle.
- press the triangle to go to the upload page.
- browse your computer to find your file, name it and then upload it.
How to to display an image?
- The same as uploading a file. The only difference is that you attach the image not as a link:
Attach:ImageName.jpg | Image Titlenot[[Attach:ImageName.jpg | Image Title]] - You can control the size of the image by adding this before the attached image, at the beginning of the line:
%width=100 height=200% Attach:ImageName.jpg | Image Title
What is Wiki?
Here are some useful pages installed along with the PmWiki software :
- What is the WikiWikiWeb?
- PmWiki documentation is available at PmWiki.DocumentationIndex.
- TipsForEditing? and TextFormattingRules describe how to create pages in PmWiki.
- Practice editing pages in the WikiSandbox.
More information about PmWiki can be found at http://www.pmwiki.org/.
Can I use LaTex ?
Yes,it is easy to embed mathematical formulas in wiki pages using the LaTeX math expression syntax.
The markup {$ and $} can be used to embed a formula in a wiki page. For example, the markup:
{$$ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 $$}
produces:
x^2 + y^2 = z^2
\mathrm{corr}(X,Y)= \frac{\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\overline x)(y_i-\overline y)} {\displaystyle\biggl[\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\overline x)^2 \sum_{i=1}^n(y_i-\overline y)^2\biggr]^{1/2}}
\mathrm{corr}(X) = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{N/2}}
f_X(x_1...x_N) = \frac {1}{(2\pi)^{N/2} {\left| \Sigma \right|} ^{1/2}} \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}(x -\mu)^t \Sigma^{-1} (x-\mu) \right)
f_X(x_1...x_N) = \frac {1}{(2\pi)^{N/2} {\left| \Sigma \right|} ^{1/2}} \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}(x -\mu)^t \Sigma^{-1} (x-\mu) \right)
