Please feel free to write here some questions you might have and we will try and answer them. Also, if you can think of a better way to format this page please do so.
How do I create a page
To creat a page you need to first create a link to the page. The easist way to do this is to create a link to the page on the contents page and then click on this link. You will then be asked to create this page.
How do I delete a page or change its name?
You need special permission to delete a page or change its name. Just send a request to Gareth Hegarty if you need to do this.
What is the format for citations to papers?
The name of the page should be firstauthor_second_author_..._lastauthor_yeara, i.e. Meylan_Squire_2002a. The a should be b if there is already an a etc. Then list authors, title, publication, volume, number, pages, year for a standard journal article.
How can I influence the way the math formulas are displayed, i.e. LaTeX-style or Word-style?
The wiki software will try and use the HTML code for equations if it can. While these do not require a picture, the corresponding equations look ugly. If you insert a small space with \, you will forec the wiki to display LaTex style formulas.
