Javapedia:Tutorial

From Javapedia

This project depends on your contributions. Anyone can edit any unprotected page. You are encouraged to give it a try! Find something that needs improvement, whether it be content, accuracy, grammar or formatting. Please help the rest of the Java community by writing and editing articles when possible. Thank you!

Where Do I Begin?

To get started editing, you must create an account. To do so, click on the link labeled log in / create account located at the top right of each page. Then click Create an account. Choose a username and fill it in the field. The edits you make will be credited to your username. The email address authentication is required to prevent spamming.

Edit An Article

To edit an article, click the edit tab at the top of the page. Use the text box to make changes to the article. When you are finished editing, you can click "Show preview" to preview your changes, then click "Save page" when you are satisfied.

Creating Links

To link to another page, surround the link word with 2 square brackets [[My URL]]. If the page exists, the link will be blue. If it's not been created yet the link will be red.

Formatting Text

To change the style of your text, surround your text with single quotes:

For Italics, use 2 single quotes: ''My Italic Text''

For Bold, use 3 single quotes: '''My Bold Text'''

For both Italics and Bold, use 5 single quotes: '''''My Italic and Bold Text'''''

To format a set of words as a heading, surround the text with equal signs:

For a top-level heading, use 2 equal signs:

==My Top-Level Heading==

For a sub-level heading, use 3 or more equal signs:

===My Sub-Level Heading===

To indent, precede the text with one or more colons, depending on how far you would like to indent:

:One-colon Indentation

::Two-colon Indentation

:::Etc

To create a bulleted list, use one or more asterisks:

*Beginning Of List
*Continuing My List
- **Sub List Created With 2 Asterisks

To create a numbered list, use the number sign:

#Beginning Of Numbered List
#Continuing My Numbered List
1. ##Numbered Sub List Created With 2 Number Signs
2. ##Continuing Numbered Sub List
#Returning To Original List
