A user-friendly guide to adding and editing content on the IEEE Smart Village DokuWiki.

Getting Started: Creating a New Page

Search for your page title: The easiest way to create a new page is to first search for the title you have in mind. If the page doesn't exist, you can create it.

Use the search bar: Type your desired page title into the search bar and press Enter.

Create the page: If the page doesn't exist, you'll see a “This topic does not exist yet” message. Click the “Create this page” button to open the editor.

Editing an Existing Page

To edit a page you are currently viewing, look for an “Edit this page” button or link. This will open the page in the editor, allowing you to make changes.

Basic Formatting

DokuWiki uses a simple markup language to format text. Here are some of the most common formatting options.

Bold and Italic:

For bold text, wrap it in double asterisks: text

For italic text, wrap it in double slashes: text

For underlined text, wrap it in double underscores: text

Headlines: Use the equals sign = to create headlines. More equals signs create smaller headlines.

Large Heading

Medium Heading

Small Heading

Lists:

Unordered Lists: To create a bulleted list, indent your text with two spaces and use an asterisk * for each item.

Ordered Lists: To create a numbered list, indent your text with two spaces and use a hyphen - for each item.

Creating Links

Internal Links: To link to another page within the wiki, use double square brackets.

page_name will create a link to “page_name”.

link text will create a link to “page_name” with the text “link text”.

External Links: To link to an external website, simply paste the full URL.

http://www.example.com will create a link to that URL.

link text will create a link with custom text.

Adding Images

Upload the image: Click the “Media Manager” button to upload your image file.

Embed the image: To embed an image into a page, use double curly braces.

Saving Your Work

Once you are finished editing, you will see a “Save” button. Click this to save your changes. It's a good practice to also use the “Preview” button to see how your changes will look before saving.
