This page contains instructions for how to utilize the wiki for the SWEBOK. In order to simplify maintenance, every attempt has been made to leverage standard wiki features when possible.

1 Document Structure

Each chapter of the SWEBOK should be stored on its own wiki page, entitled "Chapter X: Chapter Title Here". This page can be created by replacing all spaces with underscores in this suggested page title, and entering the URL "http://swebokwiki.org/Chapter_X:_Chapter_Title_Here". When the page loads, click on "Create" to create the new page. Note that page names are case-sensitive.

2 Headings, Table of Contents

MediaWiki uses wikitext to define pages, which is a special text format that allows one to define paragraphs, headings, references, etc. Headings can be created using the following wikitext:


Top-level heading:

== My Title Here ==

Sub-heading:

=== My Title Here ===

Sub-sub-heading:

==== My Title Here ====

The first top-level heading that appears will be automatically numbered as Section 1 by MediaWiki. The first sub-heading appearing under this top-level heading will be labeled 1.1. MediaWiki will automatically construct a table of contents using these headings. Sub-sub-headings can be used but will not be numbered nor appear in the table of contents.
