Hi David,

Within the next fortnight we'll be implementing the WYSIWYG editor on WE. So
in the near future you won't need to mess around with wiki syntax for tables
:-).

However, if you're in a hurry you can add XHTML attributes to Mediawiki
tables -

See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables


Assume this simple 2-cell table:

{| class=prettytable
|-
| Cell 1
| Cell 2
|-
|}

You can, for instance specify the background color, alignment and width of
Cell 1 as follows:

{| class=wikitable
|-
| width=60% bgcolor=#cc align=left | Cell 1
| Cell 2
|-
|}

(Note the insertion of the additional pipe | after the attributes for Cell
1. )

Cheers
Wayne

Looking forwards to the new editor! I will be out of a job for my tricks up

Re: [WikiEducator] Tables cell aliagnment

2010-01-24 Thread Wayne Mackintosh
Hi Nellie,

We're currently working on revising the tutorials for RTE -- working through
the backlog of my vacation email but will post an invite to the WE
community and facilitators to take a look and help us polish the revisions
of the tutorials needed for the new WYSIWYG implementation.

Folk who still want to use standard wiki sytax can still do so and will be
able to use our existing tutorials.

We'll need to look at our workshop formats and see what refinements may be
necessary for the RTE implementation.

Hopefully with RTE we will be able to reduce the learning curve and time
needed to reach basic wiki editing proficiency.

Cheers
Wayne

Re: [WikiEducator] Tables cell aliagnment

2010-01-24 Thread Wayne Mackintosh
Hi David,

Don't worry -- you'll be learning new tricks for the benefit of the open
education movement :-)

The advantage with WYSIWYG editing is that workshop facilitators will be
able to focus on the more important aspects associated with pedagogy and
strategies for collaborative editing.

I think that RTE will remove a major barrier to using wikis for newbies and
lower the learning curve thus giving facilitators more time to focus on the
more important components of collaborative authoring etc.

Given the time WE will save in teaching basic wiki editing -- what
additional learning outcomes should we incorporate into a L4C workshop? This
will help us determine gaps for future tutorial development.

Cheers
Wayne
