====== Quick howto ======

===== Adding a new page =====

To add a new page, do this:

  - Log in. If you don't have username/password yet, just click the login button, and then click "register". The register link is located right below the log in box.
  - Edit the page that should link to your page. Do this by pressing the "Edit this page" on the top/bottom or press an "edit" button on the right side of the page to edit a particular section of the page rather than all of it. 
  - Go the the precise location in the text where you want to add a link to your new page. Click the button that looks like a chain (not the one with the earth behind). Type %%[[xxx]]%% where xxx is the name of the page you want to create. This will create what is called an internal link.
  - Save Page.
  - Click on this newly created (and currently broken) internal link and you will be asked to create the new "missing" page...
  - Click "Edit this page" in order to create a new one.
  - Type text or cut/paste into this edit window. Make sure that you start each new page with a heading (select the text to be used as heading, and press the toolbar button with a blue "H" on it). Use the ''<code>'' and ''</code>'' tags before and after code segments.
  - If you want to upload additional files like binary includes required to assemble, or pictures or screenshots that illustrate something, press the button/icon that looks like a framed painting.
  - Save your page.

When updating an existing page it is a good idea to fill in the "Edit summary" field, to give a brief explanation of what kind of change you applied to the page in question.
