Overview
To make formatting or other repeat information show up on the wiki, it is useful to use a shortcut such as a {{Template:_______}} to display various useful information. Or, wikicode can be cut and pasted, and filled with modified information. In the case of the {{Template: route, we are passing parameters into the template, and in the case of wikicode we are cutting and pasting and replacing parts of the code with the desired content.
A good example of {{Template: is:
A good example of cut-and-paste wikicode is CAD_Current_Work#GVCS_Projects_-_CAD_Status
The wiki is flexible and formatting + content can happen in several ways;
- Wiki Markup Language - accepts wiki-specific markup + some HTML elements, see Wikipedia - [1]
- Wiki Templates - using the {{}} markup - you can invoke templates defined as {{Template:______}}
- CSS - CSS is handled within Mediawiki, example is CAD_Current_Work#GVCS_Projects_-_CAD_Status
- HTML - using HTML, you can embed content from other platforms, such as Google Docs, WebGL, and much more.
- HTML/CSS/Javascript - see Flashy XM for a combination of Wiki Markup Language, HTML, CSS, and Javascript
