Links

To get an

• internal link with a different name you should write [[todo|My to do list]] My to do list

The first part should link to WE and should be exactly the URL without the WE part. To be clear [[Help:Contents|Help on WE]] will link you to http://wikieducator.org/Help:Contents so you have to omit http://wikieducator.org/ in the link. [http://wikieducator.org/Help:Contents] will appear as an external link like a reference [1].

• external link with a different name you should write [http://www.exelearning.org eXe Web Site] eXe Web Site

Importing files

• [[Image:Message_pad_with_pen.jpg]] is the way to go. Existing files can be used or file is to be uploaded. Attention, this is case sensitive.
• [[Image:file name|type|location|size|caption]] gives you all the attributes you can give to your image.
  • The less obvious option is probably type, you can use: thumb, thumbnail or frame
• [[media:name_of_file.pdf|Piped link text goes here]] will give you a pdf same syntax for MP3
