Sorting Data

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

{{DEFAULTSORT: Gerstenslager Company, The}}

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
Address	Data 1
Phone	Data 2
Contact Person	Data 3
Email	Data 4

Inserting Images

1. Open the page that the images will go on in edit mode.
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.

To insert images as thumbnails:

This caption is for Image1

• When inserting the image as a thumbnail the 200px can be changed. The larger the number, the larger the image.
• 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:

• Image name.jpg

  This caption is for Image.

• Image2 name.jpg

  This caption is for Image2.
