Hi all,

When some command is mentioned on this mailing list, and people say
"somebody might want to add this information to the wiki", and the
command page doesn't even *exist* yet — don't despair. Creating it is
easy, now.

* There's a proper copy-paste skeleton for new command pages, now; you
can copy it and fill in what you need with a minimum of fuss. It lives
at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Help:Command_reference.
* Help:Command_reference is now linked from the [[Category:Commands]]
page, so it should be easy to find when you need it.
* No more interleaving your prose with <code> and <tt> tags:
{{cmd|defineparagraphs|[LeftRight]}} produces a linkified and
typewriter-fonted \defineparagraphs[LeftRight].
* Link to up-to-date versions of source files with
{{src|m-ipsum.mkiv}}. This links to the repository at
http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git.
* Mark code with {{code|...}} instead of <code>...</code>. It codes
the same thing, but it's easier to type. (And easier to recode what it
encodes. Code code code.)

Speaking of the command reference: if you click on
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands, you'll see that there
are only 100 commands left to categorize. Some help would really be
appreciated at this stage. Just open two or three commands in tabs,
and change [[Category:Commands|mycommand]] to
[[Category:Command/SubCategory|mycommand]]; you can see the list of
subcategories at the top of the Category:Commands page.

Kind regards,

Sietse
