To create a new page in the Wiki, you edit an existing one, and place a link there. The way you place a link is by placing a Wiki age name (without spaces) within square brackets and saving the page you edited. Then when you view the page again, there will be a question mark next to your page name. If you click the question mark, a new page is created and you can add your content there.

To create a new page in the Wiki, you edit an existing page and place a link to your new page. You then save your page, and when you view the page with your saved link in, there will be a question mark displayed next to your new link. You then click on the question mark and you will be taken to your new page where you can add in your new page content.

There is a create wiki page jsp around on the JSP Wiki site, but it is not employed on the AppFuse Wiki. But to be honest, once you have created one new page, you will see how easy it is. Literally, put some text inside a left and right square bracket and save the page, then click on the question mark!

To create a link, edit an existing page, then place the name of your new page (without spaces) within square brackets and save the page you have just edited. Here is an example of how to create a basic link within Wiki:

{{{

[MyWikiPage]

}}}

Another way of specifying links is to give the link a description, then the Wiki page name.

{{{

[Text to describe link|MyWikiPage]

}}}

You are probably used to creating a page then linking to it, so this may seem a backward way of working, but once you have created your first link, you will see how nicely it works.

You need a password to use the AppFuse SandBox from AppFuse founder [Matt Raible|MattRaible]. However, there is an unrestricted access SandBox [JSP Wiki Sandbox|http://sandbox.jspwiki.org/] to play with (if you follow the link, click on Edit page).

Here are the markup elements you have at your disposal to make your page content look good:

{{{

---- Horizontal ruler

\\ Forced line break

[link] Create hyperlink to "link", where "link" can be either an internal

WikiName or an external link (http://)

[text|link] Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the actual

hyperlink link.

[text|wiki:link] Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the

actual hyperlink link, and the hyperlink points to a named Wiki.

This supports interWiki linking.

* Make a bulleted list (must be in first column). Use more (**)

for deeper indentations.

# Make a numbered list (must be in first column). Use more (##, ###)

for deeper indentations.

!, !!, !!! Start a line with an exclamation mark (!) to make a heading.

More exclamation marks mean bigger headings.

__text__ Makes text bold.

''text'' Makes text in italics (notice that these are single quotes ('))

{{text}} Makes text in monospaced font.

;term:def Defines 'term' with 'def'. Use this with empty 'term' to make short comments.

|text|more text| Makes a table. Double bars for a table heading.
