CZ:How To

This 'CZ:How To page illustrates the wiki code needed to perform certain tasks and also lists many useful articles.

How to create a table (manually)

The table creation process uses the syntax below:

To create the actual table, use

{|

At this point, you can specificy specific style elements about your table, such as

• having a border (by adding border="1")
• setting border colors
• setting table width
• other CSS elements

After the table has been established, use

|

to create your first data cell. This also begins a new column. At this point, you can also

• specify it's alignment
• specify how many columns it will cover
• apply other CSS style elements

To create a new row, simply use

|-

After creating as many columns and rows you wish, close your table by using

|}

A sample table code is below

{|border="1" width=40px 
|column 1, row 1
|align="center"|column 2, row 1
|-
|align="left"|column 1, row 2
|align="right"|column 2, row 2
|}

The table looks like this:

column 1, row 1	column 2, row 1
column 1, row 2	column 2, row 2

How to delete an article

You can ask a constable to delete an article by using the speedydelete template. You can simply add {{speedydelete|Insert some reason here}} to the article/image space.

How to find editors

To find a list of editors in a particular Workgroup, go to the CZ:Workgroups page and clink on the editors link for the workgroup.

How to make arrows

Some arrows can be inserted by clicking on the appropriate arrow located on the bottom of edit pages. They can also be typed as shown by the examples below. Note that the math begin (<math>) and math end (</math>) tags do not need to immediately surround the arrow functions, they only need to be at the beginning and end of equations.

$\rightarrow$ is made from <math>\rightarrow</math> or <math>\rarr</math> or &rarr;

$\leftarrow$ is made from this <math>\leftarrow</math> or <math>\larr</math> or &larr;

$\leftrightarrow$ is made from this <math>\leftrightarrow</math> or <math>\harr</math> or &harr;

${\stackrel {\textstyle \leftarrow }{\rightarrow }}$ is made from <math>\stackrel{\textstyle \leftarrow}{\rightarrow} </math>

$\uparrow$ is made from this <math>\uparrow</math>
$\downarrow$ is made from this <math>\downarrow</math>

How to make chemical equations

Note that buttons for superscripts and subscripts are located immediately above and below the edit text box when editing a page. To subscript something, just hi-light the text and click the subscript button.

This text

: 4NaPO₃ + 2SiO₂ + 10C → 2Na₂SiO₃ + 10CO + P₄

OR THIS TEXT

:<math> 4 \mathrm{NaPO}_3 + 2 \mathrm{SiO}_2 + 10\mathrm{C} \rarr 2 \mathrm{Na}_2\mathrm{SiO}_3 + 10\mathrm{CO} + \mathrm{P}_4 </math>

provides the following equation (note that colons indent the equation)

4NaPO₃ + 2SiO₂ + 10C → 2Na₂SiO₃ + 10CO + P₄

How to make math equations (italic variables)

Simple algebraic equations

This text

:<math>\left(p + \frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right) = nRT</math>

provides this mathematic formula

$\left(p+{\frac {n^{2}a}{V^{2}}}\right)\left(V-nb\right)=nRT$

How to make integral equations

:<math>F(t) = \int_0^t f(x) \, dx.</math> gives this equation:

$F(t)=\int _{0}^{t}f(x)\,dx.$

and this text, :<math>\int_a^b f(x) \, dx = F(b) - F(a).</math>, gives this equation:

$\int _{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a).$

How to make differential equations in dot notation

This text, :<math>\dot{x} = \sigma(y - x)\ ,</math> give this equation in dot notation

${\dot {x}}=\sigma (y-x)\ ,$

This text, :<math>\dot{x}=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\ .</math> gives this equation

${\dot {x}}={\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}\ .$

How to make summation equations

This text
:<math> X = \sum_{J=1|}^{n} \ c_JV_J. </math>

provides this equiation:

$X=\sum _{J=1|}^{n}\ c_{J}V_{J}.$

How to make subscripts

Note that buttons for superscripts and subscripts are located immediately above and below the edit text box when editing a page. To subscript something, just hi-light the text and click the subscript button.

Or, you can type the code yourself, thus X₂ yields X₂.

How to make superscripts

Note that buttons for superscripts and subscripts are located immediately above and below the edit text box when editing a page. To subscript something, just hi-light the text and click the subscript button.

Or, you can type the code yourself, thus X² yields X².
