WikiShow

1. Wiki Show

The area between the presentation title and the first page is for notes (right here!) and these notes won't show.

1.1. Instructions

This page documents the Wiki Show Extension by Doug Blank. It allows one to take a Wiki page (such as this one) and turn it into a presentation. You can download the current version here:

1.2. Wiki Page Format

To create an appropriate wiki page:

  1. Add a #pragma author Name line near the top of the page to indicate author(s)

  2. Use = Name = to indicate title of presentation

  3. Use == Page Name == for page headers

  4. Use === Links Name === for link names (righthand column) on page

Each == Name == is another page of the presentation.

1.3. Inline Code

This page can be viewed by clicking the SHOW button at top in the wiki view.

This is  inline code do not touch symbols here like :)

This is plain. 

This is a code block
20  x := x + 1
30  print x
40  protect :(

not protected, so this should be a smiley: :)

1.4. Page 2

1.6. Page 4

Can this be tied into the dbase of questions somehow with Edventure?

It could by two methods:

  1. Using the wiki macro facility (written in Python for this wiki)

  2. using the HTML presentation manager (that would be easy because both are written in PHP). Now, all we would need is some syntax for displaying and grading questions...

1.7. Lists

Lists aren't currently done properly. First approximation work, but it is implemented incorrectly. Don't mix them and you should be mostly ok.

  1. One numbered

  2. Two numbered

    1. Two sub-1 numbered

    2. Two sub-2 numbered

  3. Three numbered

  4. Four numbered

  5. One star

  6. Two star

  7. Three star

  8. Four star

1.8. Page 5

Hey this is really cool! I love the simplicity of it! Now to reproduce it somehow... what's required?

Via the powers of open source... presto! It's free! It's open! See

1.8.1. go back

You can put wikinames here like RecentChanges, or EdventureHelp

One can also click on the numbers at the bottom of the presentation, and it will give a table of contents, and a way back.

1.9. Bugs

I couldn't find a fairly clean way of stripping out the wiki to HTML translation from either the Php wiki or this Moinmoin wiki. So, this is a bad approximation with lots o' missing formats. I should take advantage of the wiki's ability to export in XML. But that will have to wait. Besides, I needed a Php wiki formatter...
