Edit detail for Creating New Pages revision 1 of 4

Suppose someone asks you: --
**I think it would be great if you could add your
algoritm to the AxiomWiki web site.**

And ... -- **you agree :)**

The first question might be: -- Where should it go?

The answer might be: -- First create a link to the new
page here:
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AxiomContributions

The link is created before the page.

Alternatively you might choose to start with some other
"parent" page depending on the topic of your new page. Do a
search (box in upper right corner) or click on 'Contents'
to find a suitable place to make a new link.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide to create a new web page

  Before beginning, be sure to set your user name and
  email address by clicking 'preferences'.

2 Then click 'edit' and add some text such as:

  ![My Algorithm] '--' The integration algorithm.

  The part inside the ![...] becomes the new page name.
  The part after the '--' is some short explanation. The
  result will be a link to the page you are just about to
  create.

  Optionally use a name such as:

  ![SandBox My Algorithm] '--' The integration algorithm.

  If you choose a name starting with 'SandBox...' then you
  will be able to edit and test the new page without creating
  any email notices of the changes you make. 'SandBox' pages
  are just like drafts.

3 Click 'Preview' to check it, re-edit if necessary, then
  click 'Save'.

4 Click on the blue '?' beside ![My Algorithm]?

5 Add some explanatory text::

    Introduction

      This routine ...

6 Add the SPAD code::

    !\begin{spad}
    your spad code here
    \end{spad}

7 Add some more explanatory text::

    Example

      Try this ...

8 Add some Axiom commands::

    !\begin{axiom}
    integrate(sin(x),x=0.0..3.141592)
    \end{axiom}

9 Click 'Preview' to check it. Re-edit. Then click 'Save'.

10 If this was a SandBox page and you are now really happy
   with the way the page looks, use the box at the bottom
   of the page to rename the page to just:

   'My Algorithm'

   without the 'SandBox' ... prefix.
