Editing content

The wiki is not a complete replacement for a word processor. It does, however, provide all the functions you need to create high-quality documents.

Editing regular text

The wiki uses standard HTML wherever possible to format text. There are a few special markers (tags) that the wiki uses, for example, to embed other items (inline items). As with most HTML editors, it helps if you familiarize yourself with the HTML markup syntax, because it is sometimes necessary to make changes in the source HTML to achieve the layout and appearance you want (button P in the action menu).

The wiki supports figures, tables, text styling such as bold, italic and underlined, headings, code blocks and ordered and unordered lists.

Adding figures and captions

You can drag figures directly into the document and drop them there. Alternatively, you can use the H button in the action menu. To enlarge a figure or add a caption, right-click the figure and use the relevant options.

To create a reference to a figure, the figure needs a caption. You create the reference with button C in the toolbar. For more detailed information on creating a reference, see the section References to figures.

Note

While editing, figure numbers are not yet shown; they are only displayed in reading mode.

Adding tables and captions

You can add tables to your document using the dedicated button in the toolbar (H). To add a table caption, right-click the table, choose the options you want and save them.

To create a reference to a table, the table needs a caption. You create the reference with button C in the toolbar. For more detailed information on creating a reference, see the section References to tables.

Note

Adding external references

To create a reference to an external URL, click button C in the action menu, then select the topmost entry and enter the URL you want.

References to items

You can add a reference to any item in the system within your text. You can freely choose the link text or replace it with an attribute of the target item, such as the title or status.

To create a reference to an item, click button C in the action menu, then select the “Item” entry on the left and use the item finder to pick the item you want.

You can either enter free reference text or select an attribute of the target item as the reference text.

References to documents

You can reference other documents within your text. When you click the reference, the document opens in reading mode.

To create a reference to another document, click button C in the action menu, then select the “Document” entry on the left and use the document finder to pick the document you want.

You can either enter free reference text or select an attribute of the target document as the reference text.

References to document sections

You can reference a section of the current document or of another document within your text. When you click the reference, the relevant section opens in reading mode.

To create a reference to a document section, click button C in the action menu, then select the “Document section (internal)” or “Document section (other doc.)” entry on the left and use the document finder to pick the document section you want.

You can either enter free reference text or select an attribute of the target document section as the reference text.

References to anchors (bookmarks)

You can reference a previously set anchor (bookmark) in the current document within your text. When you click the reference, the relevant location is brought into focus and displayed.

To create a reference to an anchor, click button C in the action menu, then select the “Anchor on this page” entry on the left and use the anchor selector to pick the anchor you want.

References to tables

You can reference a table within your text. When you click the reference, the display jumps to that table. Please note that in editing mode a placeholder is used for the actual reference text.

The system generates an element ID for each table, which serves as the target for the reference.

For the reference text, you can choose between
