Introduction

The wiki service of the Collaboratory hosts the main interface to access all other Collaboratory services. It also offers a handy way of documenting your work with a simple wiki user interface.

Wiki pages are a convenient way of publishing content on the web, either addressing the Team of the collab, or making the content completely public, i.e. also accessible to visitors without an account. The wiki home page of the collab is created for you. You can edit this page and add sub-pages. The wiki page hierarchy appears in the left margin.

More advanced users can use the XWiki macros which can be inserted when in edit mode by clicking the cog icon in the formatting toolbox at the top of the page.

New wiki sub-pages offer more diversity: plain blank wiki pages, article pages with an automatic table of content in the right margin, or 3rd party content: an external web page (iframe) or a community app.

Curious about how a wiki page was written? You can always see the source for it from the kebab menu (upper right).

You can run a search on all the wiki pages you have access to from the search widget at https://wiki.ebrains.eu or from the magnifying glass icon at the top of this page. This will find words in the page names and in their content, with advanced filters available from the first result page.
