Style sheet

Hi all -

Here is the Style Sheet we developed at our dinner on 30 March. I'm also listing some suggestions that Chris and LisaRuth have found helpful in being most thorough with edits. It can get pretty complex with many windows open at once so here are some tips to ensure consistency:

+ Open www.shapingsf.org and go to the Online History portal - Version 4: Greenstone. Keep this open to refer to often! This is a good place to look up the current page you are working on in the Wiki version to find links that didn't make it into the Wiki version, formatting (italics and bold, etc.), and to find source of broken links. This is also the place to determine what the Main Category for an article is (or, the first one which should be listed when creating categories for a page. More on this below!)

+ Keep the following pages open in tabs to refer to/use while editing Wiki articles:

Style Sheet (this page)

Shaping SF Categories (this is a list of categories to draw from. If it isn't here, please make sure there are enough articles falling under a certain new category before you add it to this list.)

Done (where to add names of pages when you are completely finished and satisfied with the edits)

+ Other pages you will need to search within:

Orphaned Pages

Unused Files

Please use these consistent ways of formatting text and other elements within an article:

SOURCES FOR TEXT
