Adding/Editing content

Creating a new page

  1. On the top right, click Add -> Page. This will create a "Child Page" under the page you're currently at. In most cases, you want to do this from the Home page. It really doesn't matter because the page hierarchy can be changed later (Tools -> View in Hierarchy).
  2. Choose the yawhoi template for the new page and add content
    1. I prefer using the wiki markup but you can add content using the Rich Text editor too. For wiki markup help, look to the right of the text box you use for editing. Mostly you will need to tell it titles and lists.
    2. The preview pane is useful.
    3. URLs can be added as [help text | insert-url-here]. I recommend putting the URL itself as help text since we will print the most current version of the handbook every year for the incoming students. So use syntax [ URL | URL ]. For email addresses use [email@email.com | mailto: email@email.com]. All URL's should include the http:// else the link won't work.
