Bob Yantosca edited this page Jun 22, 2022 · 5 revisions

This wiki uses Github Markdown syntax, which is a simple text-based markup. It is the same markup that you use when submitting new Github issues.

To start editing an existing wiki page, click on the Edit button at the top right of the browser window. Or if you wish to create a new page from scratch, click on the New Page button at top right.

Hyperlink syntax

To add a link to an external document, use this syntax:

[Text to be displayed goes here](URL goes here)

For example, a hyperlink to the GEOS-Chem website would look like this:

[GEOS-Chem website](http://geos-chem.org)

Adding links to a paragraph

Simply include the hyperlink command within the paragraph that you are writing, e.g.

I am the very model of a modern [Major General](https://major-general.org).

Creating lists of links

Bullet lists

Each indentation level of a bullet list starts with 2 spaces, followed by the - character, and then another space.

  - [Text 1 goes here](URL 1 goes here)
  - [Text 2 goes here](URL 2 goes here)
  - [Text 3 goes here](URL 3 goes here)
    - [Text 4 goes here](URL 4 goes here)

  ... etc ... 

Ordered lists

Each indentation level of an ordered list starts with 2 spaces, followed by a number, and then another space.

  1. [Text 1 goes here](URL 1 goes here)
  2. [Text 2 goes here](URL 2 goes here)
  3. [Text 3 goes here](URL 3 goes here)
    a. [Text 4 goes here](URL 4 goes here)

  ... etc ...
