Symbols in Wikitext Listed below are the symbols you will see in the Wikitext code. Know where they are on your keypad. Html2.jpg [ ] - square brackets. Used to create links. Missouri { } - curly bracket. Used to create templates.

Missouri < > - angle brackets. Used in div tags, paragraph tags and line breaks: , and / - forward slash. Used in closing tags:
 * - pipe. Used in internal links.

These other signs are used as well: colon :, semi-colon ;, parentheses, quotation mark ", apostrophe ' , equal sign =, exclamation mark !, pound sign #, and the @ at sign. You may be wondering just what all the above stuff means, but all will be explained in these lessons. There are other symbols but these will do for now. Html7.jpg

Please do not use the & (ampersand) sign in the title of pages. It causes all sorts of problems in the Wiki code. When you see an & in a title, please substitute the word and for it.

Splitting your screen
Split screen.JPG If a second monitor is not possible, we recommend you learn how to split your screen so you can display two pages at the same time. To do so on a PC, after you have a page up on your monitor, click on the little square box next to the x in the red box at the top right corner of your page to reduce the size of the image. If you have a mac, it may be in a different place. Next put your cursor on one edge of this uploaded page and drag left or right so it only takes up half of the screen. Then go to FamilySearch Wiki and upload another page. Do the same to this page, reducing the size and place it to the side of the other page. You may have to adjust the images by dragging their edges so they don't over lap. Now you have two pages side by side on your screen. We will show how this will be helpful to you.
