Creating new pages
To create a new page, do this:
- Visit Template:NewPage and copy the text area to clipboard. Feel free to modify the template.
- Goto WikEmacs:Scratch Buffer
- Add this [[Test Page]] and save the scratch buffer.
- Click on the new Wiki link to create a blank page and paste the contents of clipboard there.
- Save the newly created page.
- Now you have a basic template which you can expand upon. Add content to the new page as you please.
