Wiki Editing

Adding Content

Registered members can add or revise content in the SPECway Wiki. Click on the little downward arrow at the upper right to enter Edit.

Once in Edit, you can either type or copy and paste from another source.

Importing information from another editor sometimes brings along extra code. This extra code can change or break the formatting. As a result there are two  "Paste as…" options.

To copy from MS Word:
  1. Copy the text you want to paste into the editor.
  2. Launch the editor and click on the place you want your information to appear then click on 'Paste from Word' in the top row of icons.
  3. Your information will appear in the IGLOO editor
  4. Note: you may need to tweak some of the formatting as the editors are not an exact match.

To copy from another source, we recommend that you paste it into the editor as plain text. This strips out formatting that might break or insert code that you can't change: 

  1. Locate and copy the information you want.
  2. Launch the editor and click on the place you want your information to appear then click on 'Paste as Plain Text' 

Hyperlinks

To create a link to a web location, do this:

  1. Locate and copy the URL destination you want your link to take you to.
  2. Type the text that you want to hyperlink and highlight it.
  3. In the editor click on 'Edit/Insert Link'  and a pop up window will appear.
  4. Paste the destination URL in the 'Link URL'
  5. Select the target; do you want this link to open in the same window (navigate away from your page) or open in a new window (launch a new browser).


Using Tables

The tables in the editor work very similar to the tables in a standard editor. Insert a new table using the last icon on the bottom icon row. You can then adjust the following settings:

  1. Table row properties
  2. Table cell properties
  3. Insert row before or after
  4. Delete row
  5. Insert column before or after
  6. Delete column
  7. Merge table cells
