iGEM UofT Wiki 2015

To collaborate on page content:

First, you will need a GitHub account. Create one here. Make sure to verify your email after.

Once your email is verified, send me a message with your username and I can add you as a collaborator of this repository. As a a collaborator, you can clone the repo and work on it on your local machine, or edit existing files online.

Where do I write?

Page content is written as markdown and stored in

./src/markdown/*.md

Once there, open a file, click the edit icon (pencil), and you can begin writing. There is also a preview tab which displays what the compiled markdown will look like.

Important!

After writing, you must make a commit. Otherwise your changes will be lost. The default commit message is fine, but if you want others to have an idea what you wrote, feel free to write your own.

If you are confused what markdown is, or how to use it, check out my quick tutorial at the wiki generator repo (some ways down). As well, here is a great Markdown Cheatsheet.

But this doesn't change the site?

I will frequently pull this repo, build the development and live versions, and push to the live site once everything is all good. Use the markdown preview as an indication of what to expect as the site content..because it is!

I want to help with the wiki code/design.

Awesome! Get setup with the repo locally and we can designate some tasks.

Markdown

Markdown is easy to learn. Markdown provides a way to write clunky HTML without having to write clunky HTML. Huh?

Consider this html for a level 1 heading:

<h1> Wheeeeee </h1>

Okay, that works, but in markdown it is sooo much cleaner:

# Wheeeeee

You can use # to ###### for <h1> to <h6>, respectably. Still not convinced?

Oh and by the way, you just learned markdown. Still curious? See this Markdown Cheatsheet.

Remember,

wiki freeze is on September 18

Cheers.

Joanna's icons for tabs which need adding:

homepage = h-square
Dry lab = code-fork
Wet lab = eyedropper
P+P mainpage = users
