Does anyone know if there is a set of instructions on the wiki?

I have been trying to teach myself to edit it in order to put the Absolute Block pictures into the North Wales Coast manual, but have still got a couple of things I cannot work out, such as how to format tables, and how to put text in bold without destroying the table. I have therefore had to put in a couple of compromise formats which I do not personally like.

I was trying to get it to look as much like the PDF manual that I originally wrote for the sim as possible.

WIKI syntax

This link should be visible in the header of the edit page in the WIKI.

Some bits take a bit to get your head round, don't be afraid to ask for help.

Thanks Andy, that helps a lot.

Do you have any idea how I can align the text to the left in a table where it wraps over onto a second line? I am specifically looking at the scenarios table.

Try using "\\space" to force a line break at a suitable point, and 2 spaces at the right hand side of cell.

Edit: Have tweaked a couple of cells in the scenario tabulation for you.

At the point you wish to force a new line within a cell put in a double back-slash (\\) followed by a space. If you look at the Carlisle manual there is a list of GFs in the Known Bugs section which has the affected routes split over 2 lines in one of the cells.

In the section on tables in the Wiki syntax there is a bit about text justification within the cells. Specifically "You can align the table contents, too. Just add at least two whitespaces at the opposite end of your text: Add two spaces on the left to align right, two spaces on the right to align left and two spaces at least at both ends for centered text. "
