Certain codes can be entered into the editor when editing an article that, once published, will add information or formatting changes to the article.

You can access some of these through the format button in the toolbar when editing. Click on the "Insert Special" option in that menu:

In the pop-up form, you can then select from some of the special commands available. Once you select the option, a description of the feature will display below it. You can currently add Index (which inserts an alphabetical index of all articles in the system), Revision List (which inserts a table of all changes for that article), or Approver List (which will be replaced with a list of approvers for that article).

The Revision List table will show collapsed by default. It will only show the initial revision. You will have to click the "Show More" link to expand the table. It will include both revisions and any policy reviews. It will look similar to this:

Legacy Commands

The following cover some of the legacy wiki markup for finer control over tables and paragraphs in articles. It is recommended to use the formatting toolbar in the content editor for tables and paragraph indention.

Tables

While you can now use the toolbar to add a table directly into your article, you can also add a table to your page by using the pipe | character to delineate cells. Each table row must start with a | also. For example:

|Name|Number
|John|123 123 123
|Julie|234 234 234
|Bob|345 345 345
|Joe|456 456 456

Once committed, that text will be rendered as an actual table on the screen, like this:

Name	Number
John	123 123 123
Julie	234 234 234
Bob	345 345 345
Joe	456 456 456

There are no limits to how many columns you can create, however you should be mindful that it will have to fit into the maximum width of the page text.

You can merge cells by starting the cell with any number of forward-slash ( / ) signs. For example, to have 1 cell span 2 columns, you would put /Example , and that cell will have the text Example but will be the width of two columns.

You should also be able to paste tables from Word, Excel and other places. They will automatically be converted into the format above, however you may have to remove certain spaces that are inserted during the pasting process.

Indenting Paragraphs

While you can use the Indent button on the toolbar now to indent text, you can also indent a paragraph (eg. to create your own kind of indented lists) by starting the paragraph with any number of forward-slash ( / ) signs. Those symbols will cause the paragraph to be indented when the article is committed. Note, however, that this will reduce the available width of the paragraph as the right-hand margin stays the same.
