Features in Mediawiki in Relation to the Needs Matrix

Using Images

A little clunky when not using a visual editor. If using the markdown editor then you need to:

• go to the upload page first
• Upload your image and set filename and description
• Then edit your wiki page and reference the file using the following syntax:
  • [[File:your_filename.jpg]]
• An example image is displayed below

Syntax Highlighting

Not a standard feature of MediaWiki. Requires an extension.

Without the extension, you can use the HTML tags like <pre> or <code> such that:

<pre> SELECT s.spriden_first_name FROM spriden s WHERE s.spriden_last_name = 'Blake'; </pre>

produces:

SELECT s.spriden_first_name
FROM spriden s
WHERE s.spriden_last_name = 'Blake';

and:

<code> SELECT s.spriden_first_name FROM spriden s WHERE s.spriden_last_name = 'Blake'; </code>

produces:

SELECT s.spriden_first_name FROM spriden s WHERE s.spriden_last_name = 'Blake';
