What is this about?
We want to use the mediaWiki api to turn a wiki page into a website.
How are we going to do it?
- basics of styling any wiki page using inline css
- what is an API?
- Set up and Boilerplate
Style your Wiki page
Styling the wiki with CSS is a bit quirky because we are writing a mix of Wiki Markup (also called 'Wiki text') and inline-CSS.
source editing
- to style your wiki page, open it with the source editor
- this is also a great way to find out how other people applied styles to their wiki pages (just be careful to not make any changes if you inspect other Users pages)
Inline CSS?
- we use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to apply styling to a websites content (HTML).
- CSS can be connected to HTML in 3 different ways:
- 1. External
- 2. Internal
- 3. Inline
tips and tricks:
- most things that you want to style, you can just wrap in a
<div></div>HTML element and then apply some styling to the element itself. This will style whatever is contained inside it. - Some elements need a little extra care, such as headlines. The above mentioned
<div></div>will not work. Instead they want to be wrapped in a<span>like this:
==<span style="color:red;">Style your Wiki page</span>==You can see that I used the Wiki Markup syntax to define a header (==) and added some inline styling to the span element.
