UMOBILE Documentation

UMOBILE project documentation

The collaborative portal is an online environment for collaborative work, exchange and processing of idea, basic file sharing and reporting internally and publicly about the work.

Maybe you can start here.

Using the portal

We're working hard to get high quality PDFs directly from this wiki, based on mediawiki.

From another perspective, we're trying to achieve a more stable "peace of mind" status, in which "what you think is what you get" (the younger ones among us might not remeber WYSIWYG)...

To get started (and finally to produce professional PDF documents, via wiki2latex) is enough to know the following rules:

 '''bold'''
 ''italics'' 

= Heading - do not use: same level of the page_name =
== Heading ==
=== Heading ===
==== Heading ====

* Item1
* Item2
** Sub-item
* Item3

• Mediawiki - Magic Words

Using categories

Categories are a way to organize content on Mediawiki. You can categorize pages and files by adding one or more Category tags to the content text. These tags create links at the bottom of the page that take you to the list of all pages in that category, which makes it easy to browse related articles.

Categories created in UMOBILE portal:

• WPs (one category for each WP: WP1, WP2, ...)
• Partners (one category for each partner: Duth, COPELABS...)
• Deliverables: category to collect all deliverables)
• Logos: category to collect all partner logos
• Presentations:category to collect all presentations

You can browse all existing categorie here: http://www.umobile-project.eu/projectdocs/index.php/Special:Categories

PDF converter

The ProjectDocs portal embeds a tool to convert any wiki page into PDF based on a pre-defined latex template. You can access the tool in the following ways:

• through Actions->Latex/PDF and choosing the proper options (including the template) or
• usind the top tab 'Create PDF' and selecting the desired template.

If you need, you can create as many templates as you want by simple creating and editing new pages 'W2L_TemplateName' in the namespace Latex. For the sake of clarity, please have a look at the deliverables template which is store here.

New templates will automatically appear in the Latex/PDF options, not in the 'Create PDF' tab since that's a manually created short link.

Most of the wiki sintax is properly converted by the tool. Here you can find a short documentation.

More features have been added to the basic tool, as described here.

If you find any 'strange behaviour' please let us know.
