= Wiki Editing Guide

For consistent wiki formatting, please adhere to the following style guidelines.

== General Guidelines
* '''Page Naming'''
  * Use a short and descriptive name using CamelCase (eg. `MyPageName`)
* '''Headings'''
  * Start page titles at depth 1 (ie. `= My Page Title`)
  * The number of `=` equals the depth (eg. `===` is depth 3)
* '''Links'''
  * '''DO NOT''' use full URLs (ie. !http://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/...) when linking to pages within the wiki. Use the [wiki:WikiFormatting#Links WikiPageNames link syntax] instead.
  * When linking to pages that are children of the current page, use relative links `[wiki:./page/to/link/to text to display]`

== Page Specific Formatting

=== Section Pages
Pages that are introductory to larger sections that contain many sub pages (eg. the main [wiki:TestbedInformation Testbed Information] page or the [wiki:tutorials Tutorials] page) should use the following as a starting point:

{{{
[[TOC(SectionPageName/SubsectionPageName/*, depth=1, noheading)]]

= Section Title
Brief description of the section.
}}}

'''NOTE:''' Please remember to put the wiki URL corresponding to the page name in the TOC macro. You can see the wiki URL at the top of the page during editing.

  ''Example:'' For this page, the top of the page says "''Editing test/ExperimenterInformation/WikiStyleGuide''", so the TOC macro should then be `[[TOC(test/ExperimenterInformation/WikiStyleGuide/*,depth=1)]]`. Don't forget to add the `/*` at the end of the wiki URL.

The default TOC depth should be left at 1, unless it makes sense otherwise.

=== Individual Pages
Individual wiki pages should use the following as a starting point:
{{{
[[TOC(noheading)]]

= Page Title
Brief description of the page.

== Sub Section Title
Sub section content.
}}}

=== Tutorial Pages

Please us the following document skeleton when writing a tutorial.

{{{
{{{
[[TOC(noheading)]]

= Tutorial Title

== Description

== Prerequisites

== Resource Requirements
List of specific resources or requirements, including OMF image name if applicable.

== Setup

== Execution

=== The first thing you do

}}}
}}}


== Syntax Highlighting and code blocks

Trac uses [https://pygments.org/docs/lexers/ pygments] to do syntax highlighting in code blocks
{{{
{{{#!shell
  echo "foo"
}}}

or

{{{#!ruby
defTopology('rxnode') { |t|
  # Load the topology of imaged nodes
  # These nodes are from most recent omf load command
  baseTopo = Topology['system:topo:imaged']

  # Draw a random node from the pool of active ones
  aNode = baseTopo.getUniqueRandomNode

  # Add this random node to this 'senderTopo' topology
  t.addNode(aNode)
  puts "RX: #{t.getNodeByIndex(0).to_s}"
}
}}}
}}}

== Using Markdown or !RestructuredText

Using code blocks like before, Trac can render other markup formats
{{{
{{{#!Markdown
# heading 1
## heading 2
### heading 3
}}}
}}}
