 Redirects the original page to a different page

Tabular Columns

Tabular columns may be used using this coding.


Sorting Data

At times, page names need to be sorted in a different manner than they are typed.


Rather than Wiki sorting the name of the company under The Gerstenslager Company, this code will tell Wiki to sort the name under Gerstenslager

Tables

To create a sortable table:

Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading 4
Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4
Data 5 Data 6 Data 7 Data 8
Data 9 Data 10 Data 11 Data 12

To create a nonsortable table:

Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Heading 4
Data 1 Data 2 Data 3 Data 4
Data 5 Data 6 Data 7 Data 8
Data 9 Data 10 Data 11 Data 12

To create a table with a color background that appears on the right margin, page text floats around table. NOTE: Table code must appear above text.

Current Contact Information

Phone Data 2

  2. Drag and drop the files into the "Drop files here" box.
  3. Upload the images.
  4. Insert images as file or in a gallery.

  • Wiki editors can indicate whether the thumbnail should be place on the left, center or right.


To insert images in a row, or "gallery" format:
