DPCWiki:Sandbox
From DPCanadaWiki
This is the sandbox, a special page where you can play with wikitext, and write whatever you like. Just press 'Edit' up there in the grey bar!
-- Hi all. Just joined DPC, from south of the 40th parallel, thought I would leave note here where others can see it. You can send me a PM to dnorm. Dnorm 20:07, 22 February 2008 (EST)
-- OK so I thought I'd see if I can use this. Oh it isn't WYSIWYG Oh well Activity Hub

greentea arrives with her hammer.
Test, test, test: Hey, it's a link to the Activity Hub!
Satu walked up the hill to a forumpost:168223, then looked at task:500.
Then zem stopped by to say hi!
greentea tries not to break anything while she's here.
Greentea, please DO try and break things while you are in the sandbox, that is what it is there for.--Branko 04:18, 4 November 2005 (PST)
Kilroy (aka'd as DaveKline 05:08, 4 November 2005 (PST)) was here.
After reading forumtopic:17693, everyone went to read etext:17000
Captain Goof discovers the 'dpuser' tag, and notes that Goof does not have a .net account, thus making the link almost completely useless.
garvint notes that the above is an example either of relexivity or recursion. He's not sure which.
Mikeyc21 wonders who Goof is, and guesses that without a pgdp.net account, he won't be joining team:Team Colorado.

Hm, it's time for some quadratic imponderables:
<math>\frac{\delta(8x^{2}+12x+\pi)}{\delta x}</math>
No need to go hungry in the Sandbox ... you can eat all the sand which is here! yeo.man
"Eeek" said the scaredy-cat, it keeps annoyingly formatting my text! Ah, but the LaTeX typesetters can help, hooray, just ask.
Contents |
This is section #1
And the contents include
the second section
which is further expanded into
Example of smallcaps: This Phrase is in Small Caps
Another example: 9 p.m.
a subsection
So, what happens in the Table of Contents?

Note: found my "pm" number by searching for posts made by me, and hovering the mouse pointer over my name.
the third section
is here so that we can have ...
| Column 2 Heading | Column 3 Heading | Column 4 Heading | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | stuff in row 1 cell 2 which can be as long as you like because it wraps | a shorter text aligned to top | |
| 2 | a short line here | a lot more stuff which is too long to fit on one line and hence is wrapped. However the contents of the preceding cell should be aligned to the centre. |
a fourth section
to test our hunch that you need more than 3 sections to make a TOC automagically appear
Let's have a look at an image, shall we? Select Fizzup>Footnote fixump to open thizzeer dialog:
Oh, that's interesting: adding |frame| doesn't just add a frame and caption, it makes it float-right... According to the forum response I can add |left, let's see.
OK, here's the deal:
- The syntax for a simple image is [[ image_name.typ ]].
- With frame and caption it's [[ image_name.typ |frame |left or |right or |center | caption-text ]]
- where red is optional
- image floating left: [[ image_name.typ |frame|left| caption-text ]]
- image floating right: [[ image_name.typ |frame|right| caption-text ]]
- because float-right is the default
- image centered, not floating: [[ image_name.typ |frame|center| caption-text ]]
Or you can enter __TOC__ to force them.
This is preceded by <br style="clear:both" /> and drops below the floating image.
Well, that was fun.--Papeters 14:57, 23 May 2006 (PDT)
Sharpened my quill, now practising 'signing my name'.... Laura 16:00, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
Oh but looka what my lil'ol' <p style="clear:both"> unintentionally did! It made the following logical paragraphs (separated by newlines) run together into one paragraph! The section head following ended it. So that isn't a good idea maybe. How else sneak it in?
Links to category pages
Can we link to [[Category:Categories]]? No! What about [[Category:Jargon]]?
[hits head] Duh. Whenever a category link appears on a page, it becomes a categorization. You can't refer to the list of pages in a category with a direct link, because the link already does something else. Vaguery 05:40, 27 May 2006 (PDT)
