This guide is being written by members of the E-Consultation Research Project and others.
Here is some help for those writing the guide.
- This is an installation of MediaWiki.
- Basic help on editing is at Help:Editing
- Fuller details are at mediaWiki's Guide: Editing Overview
Extensions
We've added two extensions to this intallation of MediaWiki
The Cite extension
to handle footnotes. E.g.
There are various papers suggesting the potential of e-consultation.[1]
This lets you put the reference details into footnotes, so the flow of the guide isn't disturbed. Also note how the reference is linked to the full bibliographic details in Wikindx on this site. Always put references into http://www.e-consultation.org/wikindx3/ .
A graphviz extension
Graph image creation requires permission to upload.
to produce graphs from lists of linked nodes. E.g.
<graphviz>digraph G {
size = "1.5,1.5";
A -> B [label = "part of"];
}</graphviz>
will be displayed as shown on the right.
- Documentation on the original graphviz extension
- the one we are using
- the main Graphviz site
- the user guide to dot, a graphviz layout program that takes a list of things like A -> B and generates a graph from it.
- a Graphviz tutorial in Linux Journal
- a simpler tutorial
