HowTo

Create headers

On a regular base add an appropriate header.

Style element	Syntax	Shows as
Headers	== header 2 ==	header 2
	=== header 3 ===	header 3
	==== header 4 ====	header 4

Make sure you always use the headers in this order, e.g. header 2, followed by header 3 and 4 if necessary.

Create lists

Style element	Syntax	Shows as
Bulleted list	* bullet 1 * bullet 2 ** nested bullet	bullet 1 bullet 2 nested bullet
Ordered list	# first item #second item ## nested item ##* nested bullet	first item second item nested item 1 nested bullet

Close an item with a ; when short, and with a . when a full sentence. In the latter case start with a capital.

Create footnotes

Surround a footnote with <ref> ''footnote text'' </ref> tags and add at the end of the page a <references/> tag. The footnote text between the ref tags will be displayed there. Footnote reference and footnote link to each other.

Create/Edit references

In Overviews => All references you can find all references. In Brows data => Browse the IMAGE model you can find all references. You can edit a reference by clicking on the reference and then on the edit-tab in the wiki-bar. If you want to add a new reference...

Create an acronym

If you encounter an acronym in your text, e.g OECD, you can link the acronym to its description by writing OECD as follows: [[HasAcronym::OECD]]. If the acronym already exists the link will take you to the description, otherwise clicking the red link (that will appear on the page after saving) will take you to the acronym form. Here you can enter the description.

Only the first occurrence of an acronym needs to be annotated.

Add a figure

On the menu bar click Useful forms=>Add figure. This will open an entry to the figure form. Give the figure page a meaningful name and go to the form.

Add tables

Avoid tables! They are cumbersome and most likely too detailed. Do not use them to layout your text, it is against the accessability guidelines and most of the the time there is an alternative solution for the problem. In case of a data table which is necessary for the text, consider a picture of this data table.
