Wiki content is easy to edit and create. Content is written in a markup language, and the basic markup is provided below. There are also links to 'official' help sources. But first you should know that each page comes with it's own discussion page that you access using the tab at the tab (it is next to the edit tab). If you are unsure about some content, or want to discuss it, you should add your insights and comments there and not on the page itself!

Official Sources

This wiki runs on the MediaWiki platform that is used for wikipedia. Wikipedia provides the following pages that will help you:

Likewise, the mediawiki developers and community provide the following useful pages:

Useful tools

There's a wikipedia page on tools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools

I think this VBA code (with instructions on how to use it) is the best way to convert tables from excel to wiki: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technik/Text/Basic/EXCEL-Tabellenumwandlung/en

Quick Hints

Wiki pages are written in a very simple markup language. You can click the edit button on any page and enter marked-up content into the box and click save, and the new changes will appear instantly on the page. You can probably deduce all of the markup that you need by looking at an existing page, but as a quick reference the most used syntax is provided below. (Note that if you look at the source code, you will see that the <nowiki></nowiki>tag is used to prevent the wiki from interpreting the code.

Making tables using data from Excel

For now, use this website to paste data from Excel and then convert it to a format usable in Wiki. At a later date or possibly later today Carlin will figure out how to do this without using an external website (possibly by using a plugin).

Alternatively utilize regular expressions and Winner's Curse in Acquisitions (Academic Paper) as a reference for table making in wikis.

Bullets, Indents and Boxes

At the start of a line:

* to bullet
# to number bullet
: to indent
(space) to put things in a box

Now let's see them again in action:

to put things in a box

Headers

To make headers heirarchiarly (TOC is automatic) use:

=Page header=
==Section header== - The Quick Hint Section uses this
===Sub-Section header=== - "Headers" is a sub-section
====Sub-Sub-Section header===

Links

There are two types of links:

[http:/www... Text that you want] are external links
[[WikiPage | Text that you want] or just [[WikiPage]] are internal links

With the first link, a space after the URL indicated that the text that follows is the label. With the second link, the text following the pipe (|) indicates the label. You can leave the pipe and text off and then the page link will show up as the page name, like this: [[BPP]] gives BPP.

Create A Page

If you want to create a new page, make a link to a page name that doesn't exist, save the page, and then click the link!

Basic Text Formatting

Use text formatting sparingly:

To make things italic put them in two quotes: ''italic''
To make things bold put them in three quotes: '''bold'''
To make things bold-italic put them in five quotes: ''''bold-italic''''

Images

First, upload a file (there's a link in the toolbox to the right). Then link to that file. More information on how to align, scale, or otherwise process images is available from mediawiki's help pages

Math

And we wouldn't feel like proper PhD students if we couldn't render some math. LaTex is fully supported. Just add a <math>...</math> tag around any LaTex like you would normally use either $...$ or $$...$$.

For example:

I am [math]\succ [/math] you.

You might also want to see the Help using LaTeX page!

Transclusion

Transclusion is a way to include pages, or text from pages in other pages. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion

On the source page you can:

Include tags like <onlyinclude> ... </onlyinclude> so that only the selected section will appear on transcluded pages
Include links to the pages itself, like [[Editing Content]]. On the source page these 'links' will appear as bold text, but on the transcluded page they appear as a link.

On the target page, you can include the transcluded page (or section thereof) by using:

{{:PageName}}

-=TMC|X=
+There's a wikipedia page on tools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools
-The TMC|X is an accelerator focused on early stage digital health and medical device companies. It first opened October of 2014 as a core component of the Texas Medical Center’s Innovation Institute. In March of 2015, the TMC|X announced its first cohort of 22 fledgling companies, all very health focused.

+===Making tables using data from Excel===
-===Acceleration program===
+For now, use [http://excel2wiki.net/wikipedia.php| this website] to paste data from Excel and then convert it to a format usable in Wiki. At a later date or possibly later today Carlin will figure out how to do this without using an external website (possibly by using a plugin).
-The TMC|X program is four-months-long, in-house and prides itself on it’s ability facilitate network connections for its founders, which is why it’s required to have at least one founder present in Houston for the program’s duration.
-Companies: http://www.tmcinnovation.org/tmc-x/companies/
+Alternatively utilize regular expressions and [[Winner's Curse in Acquisitions (Academic Paper)]] as a reference for table making in wikis.
-==Curriculum==
+===Bullets, Indents and Boxes===
-The Curriculum begins with two intensive weeks of workshops, presentations and events aimed at solidifying a company’s value proposition, market fit and target customer base. After the two weeks, sessions become less frequent but are targeted at guiding founders in the following areas: IP, Product Development, Regulatory Strategies, Health Policy, Marketing, Fundraising and Contract Negotiations, and Communication.
-Throughout the program, the TMC|X also provides opportunities to connect with a spectrum of advisors as well as holding office hours where the directing team will meet directly with the companies to offer advice, criticism and identify fruitful connections.
+At the start of a line:
+*<nowiki>* to bullet</nowiki>
+*<nowiki># to number bullet</nowiki>
+*<nowiki>: to indent</nowiki>
+*<nowiki> (space) to put things in a box</nowiki>
-To make sure that each company links with their target audience in the Medical realm, the teams will participate in Pitch Practice sessions as well as large audience events like Launch Day, Advisor Pitch Event, TMC Expert Forum and Demo Day. Demo Day is the culmination of the program in a showcase in front of 400 members of the innovation community.
+Now let's see them again in action:

+===Headers===
-==Facilities==
+To make headers heirarchiarly (TOC is automatic) use:
+*<nowiki>=Page header=</nowiki>
+*<nowiki>==Section header==</nowiki> - The Quick Hint Section uses this
+*<nowiki>===Sub-Section header===</nowiki> - "Headers" is a sub-section
+*<nowiki>====Sub-Sub-Section header===</nowiki>
-The TMC|X is a new facility with a large co-working space built in what used to be a Nabisco factory. Utilizing a stage as well as a large span of desks, whiteboards and classrooms. The facility is very open by design to promote the spontaneous as well as orchestrated connections that the TMC|X prides itself on.
+===Links===
-==Application==
+There are two types of links:
+*<nowiki>[http:/www... Text that you want] are external links</nowiki>
+*<nowiki>[[WikiPage | Text that you want] or just [[WikiPage]] are internal links</nowiki>
-To apply to the TMC|X, a company needs to meet the following criteria:
+With the first link, a space after the URL indicated that the text that follows is the label. With the second link, the text following the pipe <nowiki>(|)</nowiki> indicates the label. You can leave the pipe and text off and then the page link will show up as the page name, like this: <nowiki>[[BPP]]</nowiki> gives [[BPP]].

-Biodesign is a one year innovation fellowship for people with backgrounds in engineering, medicine, business, computer science, design, and research to create new digital health solutions and new devices for healthcare. Fellows participate in immersive shadowing to gain perspective and experience and then receive support from resources in the Texas Medical Center to pursue their solutions. These fellows have access to prototyping tools within the TMC facilities.
+===Math===
-There are two tracks for the fellowship: Digital Health and Healthcare Devices. Both follow a three part curriculum of Identify, Invent, and Implement. Identify is where fellows will shadow healthcare professionals in order to find unmet needs. Invent and Implement are the fellows creating the solution under mentorship and then essentially create a business plan to actualize their technology in the industry.
+And we wouldn't feel like proper PhD students if we couldn't render some math. LaTex is fully supported. Just add a <nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki> tag around any LaTex like you would normally use either $...$ or $$...$$.
