This is version 3. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

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, like this:

    [MyWikiPage]

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.

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 (go on, try it out, click on 'Edit this page' below, then put a link in there and save it...) Oh you need a password - Matt can give you that!

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

    [Text to describe link|MyWikiPageName]

When you edit the Wiki page, you will see the way to 'mark up' your Wiki page, but here are the elements you have at your disposal:

----             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.
