Tips
Hypertext Links
Hypertext links for wiki pages are represented by typing the page's title within two pairs of square brackets, e.g. a link to the Main Page is written as:
[[Main Page]]
You can also write hypertext links by placing the URI followed by a space character and the link's caption within single brackets, e.g. a link to the W3C home page is written as:
[[http://www.w3.org/ W3C home page]]
Semantic Annotations
You can use the Semantic MediaWiki extensions to add simple, machine-processable annotations to articles. This will give us more flexibility when generating W3C Technical Reports from collections of wiki articles. The recommended set of annotations will be defined through our collective experience.
The are two kinds of annotations:
Relations between wiki articles
You can indicate a named relationship between the current article and another article. Assuming the current article is about the city of Menlo Park, then the following
this fine city is in [[is located in::California]]
says that the articles for "Menlo Park" and "California" are connected by the relation "is located in". Such relations can themselves be wiki articles. Relations between articles can be used to indicate relations between sections in a W3C Technical Report.
Types of literal values
Human readers can effortlessly derive information about the types of things mentioned in the text. Computers need a little help. For example, consider the following statement:
"According to the US Census 2000, the population of Menlo Park is 30785".
If we mark this up as:
According to the US Census 2000, the population of Menlo Park is [[population:=30785]]
Then computers will be able to know that the value "30785" has the type "population". As for relations, type names can also have wiki articles describing them.
Escaping Wiki Tags
The <nowiki> .... </nowiki> tags can be used to mark text when you want to wiki tags to appear as normal text.
