From The Space Library
Spacewiki is in beta-testing. There are currently only a handful of pre-programmed templates for formatting pages. Spacewiki is capable of hosting Flash video and MP3 audio. It is also capable of hosting PDF files as well as JPG and GIF images.
Audio, video, documents and images can be uploaded through the Upload link at bottom left of your screen. If you upload files please be sure to provide an adequate description of the file.

Video Upload and Playback
The code for playing a Flash video file is as follows:
<flash>file=name of file.swf|width=40%|height=200|bgcolor=#009900|play=false|quality=best</flash>
The height is in pixels, bgcolor is changeable using standard hexadecimal code, if play is set to "false" the video won't play until play is selected.
Audio Upload and Playback
The code for playing an MP3 audio file is as follows:
<flashmp3>name of file.mp3</flashmp3>
Code for creating a personal page
A personal page can be created using this standard template. An image of the person should be about 200 pixels wide and uploaded as a JPG. Cut and paste this code into your page and change the information to the right of the equals signs.
{{Infobox |bodystyle = float:right; valign:top; |title = Persons name |titlestyle = |image = [[Image:imageofperson.jpg]] |imagestyle = |caption = Picture caption e.g. name circa 1970 |captionstyle = |headerstyle = background:#ccf; |labelstyle = background:#ddf; |datastyle = text-align:right; |header1 = |label1 = |data1 = |header2 = |label2 = Birth Name |data2 = Person's full name |header3 = |label3 = Birth Date |data3 = e.g. April 4th 1929 |header4 = |label4 = Birth Place |data4 = e.g. Staten Island, New York, USA |label5 = Date of Death |data5 = Leave blank if alive |label6 = Place of Death |data6 = Leave blank if alive |label7 = Occupation |data7 = Engineer, Author etc |label8 = Nationality |data8 = e.g. United States of America |label9 = Notable Works |data9 = ''Name of Book'', ''Name of Movie'' }}
This code will produce a box that looks like this:
| Image:Imageofperson.jpg Picture caption e.g. name circa 1970 | |
| Birth Name | Person's full name |
|---|---|
| Birth Date | e.g. April 4th 1929 |
| Birth Place | e.g. Staten Island, New York, USA |
| Date of Death | Leave blank if alive |
| Place of Death | Leave blank if alive |
| Occupation | Engineer, Author etc |
| Nationality | e.g. United States of America |
| Notable Works | Name of Book, Name of Movie |
Creating a "Contents" box at the top of a page
By creating four separate headings, Spacewiki will generate an index at the top of the page. Headings are created by placing two equals signs == on either side of a heading.
