Hi All, I wanted to let you know that apt-urls are now available on the wiki, so you can include a link that will, when clicked by a user visiting a wiki page, prompt them to install a particular package.
As an example of the wiki syntax, entering this into the wiki: [[apt:geany|install geany]] will provide a link that says, "install geany." As mentioned, clicking on the link will prompt the user to install the software. :-) I just wanted the team to be aware of this additional functionality when editing wiki pages. It certainly can make things easier for end-users. Thanks, all. :-) Jim ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew East <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 5:21 AM Subject: [announcement] apt links on the wiki To: ubuntu-doc <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Further to previous discussions, the sysadmins have now actioned this and apt links are now possible on the Ubuntu documentation wiki (as well as the Ubuntu team wiki). I'll take care of adapting our internal documentation (WikiGuide) to reflect this new feature, and I look forward to seeing these links in action on the wiki. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-doc mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
