Yes, you can easily upload images to a wiki, you can even use HTML formatting in your articles. However, some owners of wikis I know dislikes the use of HTML in articles in favour of the wikitext markup. I am not really sure why this is, perhaps it has to do with user selectable stylesheets or

It's the wiki system. Try the search function, and have a look at the checkboxes at the bottom of the page. And it is easier to port the wiki articles etc.. And it's easy: No hr2My header2 title/hr2 simply: ==My header2 title== There a help left to the | show preview | save | ... when you

This Wiki idea is great, but why oh why do they have to reinvent a new markup when HTML is old and known and does the same job already?? Why use ' ' instead of i? If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I'm sure most people here have a lot more experience with HTML than Wiki markup. If the HTML could be

Hi George and all, I also think fully formed tutorials (like Garry's great new one on lighting) belong at realsoft.info. The wiki could contain a summary and the link. My intention was never to duplicate resources. The user manual is already online, so there is no need to include more than a link

Maybe a combination from all of this is a good starting point for our wiki. The online manual is more or less a copy of the delivered manual, with no chance to alter it by users if they found a mistake or something else. With the wiki we have a chance to alter articles, post workarounds, setting

Real Space 3D Drawing

Hi List, Does anyone know of a 3D drawing system that can happen in real space. On a plotter you move the pen from A to B and a virtual 2D line happens, some plotters and mouse type inputs allow pressure to set up a virtual line that lifts up or runs lower than the plotter surface ...
