The most basic text editing features, such as boldface, italics and links can be formatted with help of the buttons above the edit box. Alternatively, the syntax is simple. For '''bold text''', enclose the word(s) within three single quotes:

<nowiki>'''</nowiki>'''bold text'''<nowiki>'''</nowiki>

For ''italictext'', enclose the text with two single quotes:

<nowiki>''</nowiki>''italic text''<nowiki>''</nowiki>

To link a text to another page within the wiki, enclose the word in double square double brackets:

<nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[Anakao]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>

<nowiki>[http://www.examplepinterest.com exampe/madacamp MadaCamp Pinterest board]</nowiki>

This will result in [httpappear as://www.example.com exampe]

Alternatively, typing out the full URL without the brackets[http: //pinterest...com/madacamp MadaCamp Pinterest board]

<nowiki>http://wwwAlternatively, type a full URL without the brackets, e.exampleg.com</nowiki>:

<nowiki>http://pinterest... will result in the link appearing as follows:com/madacamp</nowiki>

http://www.example.com. to display the link as follows:

http://pinterest.com/madacamp To make a listing, simply prefix the list items with asterixes: ...

Nested lists can be made are done as follows: ...

... which will appear as follows:

Some HTML tags are permitted in wikitext. The vast majority of fancy formatting seen To link directly to an image or some other file that has previously been uploaded on wiki sites is acheived using these limited tags (ethis site use the <code>media:</code> prefix.gFor example: . tables with CSS styles). See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:HTML_in_wikitext HTML tags in wikitext]

To make an image link to a page instead of leading to the larger version of the same image which is clicked on, add the link parameter to the image markup, eg... will appear as [[media:Big_fish.jpg]]

[[ImageOr to use other link word(s) than the filename, separate the file part and the linked word(s) with a vertical bar <code>(<span style="color:Big_fish.jpg#ff0000;"> |100px|link=Big_fish]]</span>)</code>, as follows:

<pre> [[Imagemedia:Big_fish.jpg<span style="color:#ff0000; font-weight:bold;">|100px|link=Big_fish]]</prespan>how to wear a fish]]

RSS means (Really Simple Syndication. It's a standard code format for feeding various news reader applications (including web browsers) with news allows importing summaries and corresponding links to news articles. For example, do a Google news search at [httphttps://news.google.com http://news.google.comsearch] for any given keyword or phrasecan be imported. Thereafter scroll HOwever, Google does not include RSS feed URLs directly on their search result pages but it's not complicated to piece together the relevant feed URLs. For example, a search for the bottom phrase "madagascar lemurs" can be included on a page as follows: <pre><rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins">https://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss></pre> The output of this news search for the page phrase ''madagascar lemurs'', filtering out results with the terms ''penguins'' and find the ''movie'', becomes: <rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins deprecated">https://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss> Other non-Google RSS symbol feeds may include a feed icon [[File:RSS_icon.png|14px]]. Follow the link to indicate the URL whereabouts of the raw RSS feedfeeds.

The web browser may automatically display the news items For additional usage and customisation of the raw RSS feed in a tidy HTML format as well as offer to add the newsfeed to a browser's [output, see: http://www.mozillamediawiki.comorg/en-USwiki/firefox/livebookmarks.html Live Bookmarks] and various social bookmarking applications, such as Google Reader, My Yahoo, Bloglines etc. Alternatively, the browser may display the raw Extension:RSS feed in XML source code. Either way, copy the location of the page (URL) and place it within the &lt;rss>...&lt;/rss> tags, like the following example:

<pre><rss>http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&nedUploading images =us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss></pre>

Note that the phrase ''madagascar lemurs'', becomes:link does not appear to site visitors who are not logged in.

<rss>httpYou can repeat the procedure for more than one image or chose to upload multiple images via the [[Special://newsMultipleUpload|Upload multiple files]] function which allows uploading up to five images at the time.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss>

A recommended image size for this site is minumim 1500 pixels height or width. Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. Images which has a 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the [[#Image_gallery|standard image gallery]]. When scaling a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width it becomes 1125 pixels in height. In case of a taller than wide image, i.e. in portrait format, it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels in height. Example of an 4:3 aspect ratio, 1500 pixels wide and 1125 pixels tall image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]]. However, many cameras output different aspect ratios and size settings. Depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, you may prefer to scale your images down before uploading them onto this site. A free graphics application to scale images down is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp]. <!--Alternatively, try the Pixlr online photo editor at http://pixlr.com/editor/--> Or to avoid using a graphic application altogether, just upload your images in their original sizes and dimensions as they come from the camera. <!--== Images Uploading more images via FTP == To batch upload even images, first transfer the the images via FTP to for example /tmp/import Log in by shell, su root and set the environment variable to: SERVER_NAME=www.madacamp.com<br>export SERVER_NAME Within ~/wiki/maintenance/ run:  php importImages.php /tmp/import_images --user=CampMaster --comment="MadaCamp photos" For more help, type php importImages.php --help--> == Displaying images ==

On the French page, add the same type of link to the English and Malagasy pagesNote:Language switches are currently deactivated.

To add language switches for French and Malagasy versions to appear in the left column of any content page is simple. For example, the following code was added in the edit box of the page [[Lemur|http://madacamp.com/Lemur]]: <nowiki>[[enfr:LemurLémurien]]</nowiki> <nowiki>[[mg:Maki]]</nowiki>

The Français and Malagasy link therefore appears on the English version of the page, which lead to [http://fr.madacamp.com/Lémurien http://fr.madacamp.com/Lémurien] and [http://mg.madacamp.com/Maki http:Alokoteha//mg.madacamp.com/Maki]]</nowiki>respectively (note: Maki means lemur in Malagasy).

While on the Malagasy page, add links to the English and French pages[[File:Language switch example.gif]]

On the French page, adding links to the English and Malagasy versions is done by: <nowiki>[[en:Lemur]]</nowiki> <nowiki>[[mg:Maki]]</nowiki>

And on the Malagasy page, add the links to the English and French pages by: <nowiki>[[en:Lemur]]</nowiki> <nowiki>[[fr:Maki]]</nowiki> If a page title contains two or more words, the words are separated by underscores or spaces, for example: <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td style="border:1px dashed #296dad; background: #fffbff; padding:10px;width:48%;"><nowiki>[[fr:LémurienGrande_Île]]</nowiki><br><nowiki>[[en:Big_island]]</nowiki><br><nowiki>[[mg:Nosy_be]]</nowiki></td><td align="center" style="width:4%;">or</td><td style="border:1px dashed #296dad; background: #fffbff; padding:10px;width:48%;"><nowiki>[[fr:Grande Île]]</nowiki><br><nowiki>[[en:Big island]]</nowiki><br><nowiki>[[mg:Nosy be]]</nowiki></td></tr></table> The language swith codes can be added anywhere in the editing box, for example at the end. --> <!-- This feature has been removed due to comment spam
