Table of Contents
For the DSpace Wiki, we tend to use two main types of Table of Contents:
- Outline Table of Contents (numbered). For outline TOC (e.g. DSpaceResources), add the following to the top of the page:
{toc:outline=true|style=none}
- Bullet Table of Contents (bullet points). For normal TOC (e.g. TechnicalFaq), add the following to the top of the page:
{toc}
For more information on formatting a Table of Contents, see the Confluence toc Macro instructions
Redirect Pages
"Redirect Pages" are pages whose sole purpose is to redirect the user to a different location in Confluence. For the DSpace Wiki,
we use "Redirect Pages" to retain the location of the "Current Release Notes" at CurrentRelease. So, that CurrentRelease page will always redirect you to the Release Notes for the latest version of DSpace Software.
To create a Redirect page, insert the following as the only content in the page:
{redirect:<page-to-redirect-to>}
If you ever need to edit an existing Redirect page, just add ?redirect=false
on the end of the URL. For, example, use the following URL to edit the CurrentRelease Redirect Page: http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/DSPACE/CurrentRelease?redirect=false
For more information on Redirect Pages, see the Confluence redirect Macro Instructions
Creating your own Personal Page(s) in Wiki
In our old wiki (MediaWiki), people tended to create personal pages of the form FirstnameLastname.
In Confluence, you can create your own Personal Space by doing the following:
- Login to Confluence
- Use the top right dropdown (displaying your name), and select "Create Personal Space"
This will create your own personal space at the location ~<your-userid>:Home
in this wiki. For example, Tim Donohue.
You can link to this new personal space by creating links with the location being:
~<your-userid>:Home
For example, the following would create a link named "Your Name" pointing at your personal space.
[Your Name|~<your-userid>:Home]
Once you have your personal space established, you can also create your own sub-pages of that space, which you can use for your own notes, thoughts, etc.
You can even use this personal space as a basic "blog", by creating daily/weekly "News" items (see the Add -> News menu). For an example of this, see Chris Wilper's personal space (Chris is the Fedora Tech Lead).
