Editing help

The most basic text editing features, such as boldface, italics and links can be formatted with help of the buttons above the edit box. Alternatively, the syntax is simple. For bold text, enclose the word(s) within three single quotes:

'''bold text'''

For italic, enclose the text with two single quotes:

''italic text''

To link a text to another page within the wiki, enclose the word in square double brackets:

[[Beer]]

The link will thereafter point to http://www.munichbeergardens.com/Beer

To link to a page on another website, enclose the link location within single square brackets and the linked word(s) after the URL:

[http://www.example.com exampe]

This will result in exampe

Alternatively, typing out the full URL without the brackets: ...

http://www.example.com

... will result in the link appearing as follows:

http://www.example.com

To make a listing, simply prefix the list items with asterixes: ...

* item 1 
* item 2
* item 3

... which will appear as follows:

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3

Nested lists can be made as follows: ...

* item 1 
* item 2
** item 2.2
*** item 2.3
* item 3

... which will appear as follows:

• item 1
• item 2
  • item 2.2
    • item 2.3
• item 3

etc.

Image links

To make an image link to a page instead of leading to the larger version of the same image which is clicked on, add the link parameter to the image markup, eg.:

[[Image:Beer_logo.png|135px|link=Beer]]

Display an email address

The following code:

[mailto:hello@munichbeergadens.com hello@munichbeergardens.com]

... will display as:

hello@munichbeergardens.com

Skype button

To display a Skype button that will launch Skype and call or start a chat to a specified Skype address as well as indicate its online or offline status, first configure your Skype application to allow its status be shown online (if it has not already been configured as such). This is done within the Skype application section Tools->Options->Privacy. Tick the checkbox Allow my status to be shown on the web:

The following example will create a button for which a call can be made when clicked on:

<skype style="bigclassic" action="call">YourSkypeName</skype>

<skype style="bigclassic" action="call">MunichBeerGarden</skype>

The available styles are: balloon, bigclassic, smallclassic, smallicon, mediumicon

See examples at http://www.skype.com/intl/en/share/buttons/status.html

The available on-click actions are add (for adding contact), chat (for launching a chat window) and call (for starting a regular call).
