« on: Fri, 28 August 2009, 14:07:54 »
how on earth does one create a new 'section' in the wiki? Its a neat feature - the alps wiki article for intstance has sections and a TOC too -  but I havent a clue how to make sections in the wiki...

I'd click edit, and copy-paste it into your article, and use it as a template.

That reminds me, I have to put stuff in that IBM wiki...

See this page for BB codes: http://geekhack.org/misc.php?do=bbcode  I think you want the "H" (headline) tag.

When reading that page, pay close attention to the "Example Output" parts, because some of the tags it lists don't seem to work.  :-)

H is the right one.
[noparse]
[h=Option]value[/h]
[/noparse]
where option must be 2-6
2 = toplevel heading
  3 = section of 2
    4 = section of 3
       5 = section of 4
         6 = section of 5
  3 = another section of 2
   ect....

You must have at least 3 or 4 headings before a table of contents is generated.

I have found most every thing that is supported by the wiki. Had to go to the site iMav got the wiki component from though to find it and then had to signup as well to see it. I keep thinking I need to write a wiki that coves at least the ones we would use like
tables, references, hr (horizontal rule), reflist and toc
Keyboards
Topre Capacitive: Realforce 87U, Realforce 86U, HHKB Pro 2, Topre MD01B0, Topre HE0100, Sun Short Type, OEM NEO CS (x2), NISSHO Electronics KB106DE
Buckling Spring: IBM Model M Space Saver (1291472), Unicomp Customizer x 2
Cherry Brown: Filco FKBN87M/EB, Compaq MX11800
Black Alps: ABS M1
Not so great boards Rare Spring over dome OKI, Sun rack keyboard

Trackballs - Trackman Wheel (3), Trackman marble (2)
Keyboards I still want to get - Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2 the White version, Realforce 23U number pad in black and maybe white, μTRON ergo board with Topre switches.
Previously owned - [size=0]SiiG MiniTouch (White Alps), Scorpius M10 (Blue Cherry), IBM Model M13[/size]

The link I gave is from geekhack itself, but it's semi-hidden.  If you're on a page that has the "Posting Rules" box in the bottom left, the bit that says "BB Code is ON" links to the codes page.
