FORMATTING TEXT Help with text formatting in the Wiki.
Posting Images
To post images:
- Resize the image FIRST - resize to maximum 600px.
- Try to keep the "Destination filename" short & descriptive, i.e. "Caribbean120.jpg".
- Then, upload the file to the CruiserLog WIKI (Upload File link under "Toolbox" in L/H menu).
Once uploaded, post images to the Wiki in the following format:
[[Image:filename.jpg]]
(See the link below for more format options re image caption, size, etc.).
A common example will be:
[[Image:filename.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Caption]]
This will insert the image to the RIGHT of the page as a THUMBNAIL 250 pixels wide with your CAPTION underneath.
The link to the UPLOAD FILE is also available in the L/H menu under "Toolbox".
GoogleMaps
GOOGLE MAPS - You can generate Google Maps from within the editor (link at left in the menu on top of the editor). See INSERTING MAPS for more help in using this feature.
Symbols
Easy access to common symbols - copy/paste from here:
