Questions

How to manage bibliography?

Two additional tags <cite> and <biblio> are used respectively to cite bibliographic entries by their key, and to define bibliographic entries. They automatically take care of the numbering and sorting of the references. For details, please refer to http://martin.jambon.free.fr/biblio_php.html.

Example:

Input:
Two citations <cite>Quinlan_94</cite> and <cite>Smith_06</cite>.

<biblio>
#Quinlan_94 Quinlan. C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning. 1994
#Smith_06 John Smith. A fast way to ceate a wiki page. Information Science Journal 10(2), pages 345--350. 2006
</biblio>

Output:
Two citations [1] and [2].

  1. Quinlan. C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning. 1994 [Quinlan_94]
  2. John Smith. A fast way to ceate a wiki page. Information Science Journal 10(2), pages 345--350. 2006 [Smith_06]

How to sign my comments or questions?

• Three tildes gives your user name: ~~~.
• Four tildes give your user name plus date/time: ~~~~.
• Five tildes gives the date/time alone: ~~~~~.

Example:

Input: The right way to go is the easy way. The right way to go easy, is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy. --~~~~

Output: The right way to go is the easy way. The right way to go easy, is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy. --Kun Liu 15:31, 18 April 2006 (EDT)

Can I use Latex?

Latex Rendering is NOT working properly now. It is suggested that you surround your Latex equations with <math> </math> though. i.e. <math>\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}</math>. After we have fixed the Latex rendering problem, your equation will be automatically converted to png pictures. It is also convenient to use special characters defined by Wiki itself. Check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Special_characters for more details. --Kun Liu 15:31, 18 April 2006 (EDT)

Can I use any HTML tags?

What it looks like What you type

You can use HTML tags, too, if you want. Some useful ways to use HTML:

Strike out or underline text, or write it in small caps.

Superscripts and subscripts: X2, X2

Due to security reasons, file upload is disabled for regular user at this moment. You can put a URL link of the image into the wiki, and the image will be displayed. --Kun Liu 15:34, 18 April 2006 (EDT)
