The 3 minute tips

This is a Wiki - please feel free to add or alter content. You cannot do anything wrong! The easiest Way to learn is to edit a page and look, how it is done. There is a Sandbox (klick) where you can play around if you like.

Here you have the most interesting tips and tools for the documentation :

How to create a NEW page - fast way

Think about a good name in english - then klick this link: NEW - and change the word "NEW" into the page-name you want.

[edit]

How to create a NEW page - better way

Create a user-page for yourself
Add a new link at your user-page with the page-name and save the page. It's red because it's not existing yet. Now just klick on it.

[edit]

How to create a link in the text

mark the word with the mouse

klick the 3. button (the Ab underscored) and you get this:

[[Sandbox]] example for an internal wiki-page

klick the 4th button (the globe) and you get this:

[http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Sandbox sandbox] for a FULL url

[edit]

Start new sections with header lines

Use the 5. button (the big "A") of the wiki-editor - and you get this:

== New section ==
=== Subsection ===
==== Sub-subsection ====

So you get a list:

* Lists are easy to do
** start every line with a star (and no space before it!!)
*** more stars means deeper levels

[edit]

How to use tagging - categories for your text

When you want to tag a keyword so klick in the wiki-editor at the button "Tag!" (next to "Note") and you get the following code:

TSref is very important for your {{Tag|TypoScript}}.

These tags already exist: Category:Topic

[edit]

TRANSLATION - and the LanguageSwitch

Please give every new page an english name, so it would be easy to add an language-menu for translating your content. Feel free to write down in the language you want. And if you do not know an good english name please use some in your language and start writing documentation. We will found an solution afterwards.

If you want to translate an page which has not an language menu yet, please edit the page and add an language menu to it.

With the button "LANG" (next to "Note") in the wiki-editor, you will get the following code, which renders then the language menu:

{{Lang|PageName|Orange translated title|}}

example for this:

{{Lang|Dropdown Sitemap|Eine Anleitung zur Dropdown Sitemap|}}

Then you can select your language in the menu and translate the page.
