Hi :) I think i missed the point. In the original posting it gave some coding of which the important part was; Media:GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt
I don't know how to upload files to the wiki! The wiki is different from the ODFAuthors site. The ODFAuthors site is used during editing and proofreading so that only members of the team can access the chapters of the guides. Once the chapters are ready they get uploaded to the wiki. Almost anyone can read them or download them from the wiki. Eventually (usually a week or 2 after all the chapters of a guide have been done and the whole guide put together) the official LibreOffice website puts up links to the chapters and guide that are on the wiki. Around the same time the guides are given to the Lulu bookstore to sell. Jean Weber of the Documentation Team sorts out everything in this paragraph but it would be good for other people to learn how to do all this or even just parts of it. Getting back to the code on the wiki; 1. = a space (same as in html and sometimes other bits of html works too but mostly the wiki language tries to 'simplify') Sometimes if you try to put a space at the end of a line it gets lost. Also if you have 2 or more spaces together the wiki reduces it to just 1 space so if you wanted 3 spaces you could break it up by using the " " thing in the middle, such as " ". For 5 spaces " ". It is the same in html and just makes the whole thing look a lot more confusing than it really is. 2. The [[ and ]] marks are to tell the wiki that there is a link in the middle. Inside the first part is the address you want people to go to when they click on the link. The bit after the | is what shows on the page. So people only see the "ODT" part but when they click on it they go to Media:GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt 3. The full address in the example is really https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/d/d8/GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt but because it's within the LibreOffice wiki rather than an external link you can choose to use the shortened form Media:GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt 4. I have a bad feeling that if you do want to use the full address and try to access the chapter as though it was external then you might have to switch to single [ ] marks instead of the double ones [[ ]]. Also you might need to remove the | and just use a space instead and it's possible you might need to switch around the 1st and 2nd parts, ie to make it [[ODT https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/d/d8/GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt]] instead of [[Media:GS4001-IntroducingLibreOffice.odt|ODT]] 5. I was just trying to get the page to read ODT or PDF with just the "ODT" and the "PDF" parts being clickable and with things neatly lined up under each other but it became a bit of a nightmare and the coding is a lot less elegant than i would have liked. I tried to make it as easy as possible for documenters to be able to work out where to put their links and things but i am not brilliant at wiki-mark-up. Different wikis do it different ways so you just have to experiment with them a bit sometimes. Guides about how to write wiki-mark-up are often different from their implementation so they are good to get ideas from but then just have to play around and make use of the "Preview" tab near the top of the editing window.
