HowTo
Create headers
On a regular base add an appropriate header.
| Style element | Syntax |
|---|---|
| Headers | == header 2 == |
| === header 3 === | |
| ==== 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 |
|
| Ordered list | # first item #second item ## nested item ##* 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
There are two ways of displaying all the references in the wiki.
- In Overviews => 'All references' you can find all references in a table form.
- In Browse data => 'Browse the IMAGE model' has a list with filter options.
You can navigate to a reference by clicking on the reference and then edit it by clicking on the edit-tab in the wiki-bar.
If you want to add a new reference, use Useful forms =>'Add references'. In this entry to the reference-form you need to provide a name. This name has the following convention:
- One author: <author name>, <space><year>
- Two authors: <author name> and <author name>, <space><year>
- More authors: <first author name> et al., <space><year>
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 formulas
Add a figure
All flowcharts, baseline figures, policy intervention figures have been uploaded and are already annotated. For additional figures do the following: 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.

Creating links
- Link to references: Put the reference, for example (Stehfest et al., 2012) in between square brackets, like: ( [[ Stehfest et al., 2012 ]] ) . If a red link appears, go to Browse data => 'Browse the IMAGE model' and search for the right reference. Use this new citation name to put in the brackets.
- Link to chapters:
- Link to standard figures:
- Link to additional figures:
