To translate a page into a different language, create a new page by adding the ''/lang'' postfix, where lang is the language code for the translation. For example, the translation of [[User Manual/Introduction]] in German is in [[User Manual/Introduction/de]]. | * To translate a page into a different language, create a new page by adding the ''/lang'' postfix, where lang is the language code for the translation.

* If your translated page points to a page that is not yet translated, you might want to link to the not yet existing translated page, create that page and redirect to the english page. That way you will not have to change all the links when you decide to translate the page. For example, if you want to link to [[User Manual/ScummVM Interface]] from a German page, but [[User Manual/ScummVM Interface]] has not yet been translated to German, you might want to point to [[User Manual/ScummVM Interface/de]] anyway and create that page with the following content: | |||
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[User Manual/ScummVM Interface]]</nowiki> | |||

This extension can be used to present source code with syntax highlighting. As you can guess for us it is mainly useful for C++ code, but it can also be used with other languages. | This extension can be used to present source code with syntax highlighting.

The extension also now supports using the ''syntaxhighlight'' tag instead of ''source'', which can help if the code itself contains the source tag: | |||
<pre> | <pre> | ||
< | <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | ||
<header path="include/foo.h" /> | |||
<source path="src/foo.cpp" /> | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
</pre> | |||
== SimpleMathJax == | |||
This extension can be used to generate formulas using the LaTeX math syntax. It replaces MediaWiki's regular TeX based math support (that we cannot use due to server limitations) and the old jsMath and MathJax extensions. It uses the same syntax as all of these, which is [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula described here]. | |||
For inline equation use <code>\(...\)</code> and for display style math use instead <code><math>...</math></code>. | |||
</ | |||
MathJax produces nice and scalable mathematics, see their website (http://www.mathjax.org/) for a demonstration. | |||

== GoogleDocs4MW == | |||
This extension can be used to embed Google spreadsheet into a wiki page. | |||
'''Link:''' https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleDocs4MW | |||
'''Syntax:''' | |||
<pre> | |||
<googlespreadsheet width="600" height="200" style="width: 50%">Google Docs' key goes here</googlespreadsheet> | |||
</pre> | |||
'''Note:''' To actually embed a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet needs to be published with Google's ''File > Publish to Web...'' option. It is not sufficient to just have a shareable link. | |||
