This is still the Sandbox for the Halifax Rainbow Encyclopedia. Feel free to edit, delete, try things out here.

(By the way, you can try things out with the "Preview" button as well.)

Anything you put here will almost certainly eventually disappear.

Anchor Trial

[[#foo]]

This will link to the named anchor or permanent anchor named “foo” on the same page. See Permanent Anchors for targets that remain valid if you move them from page to page.

[[#foo|text]]

If BracketWiki? is set, this will link to the named anchor or permanent anchor named “foo” on the same page, but show the text given..

[[some page#foo]]

This will link to the named anchor or permanent anchor named “foo” on the page called “some page”. Unlike ordinary free links, this will not create an edit link for “some page” if “some page” does not exist.

[[some page#foo|text]]

If BracketWiki? is set, this will link to the named anchor or permanent anchor named “foo” on the page called “some page”, but show the text given. Unlike ordinary free links, this will not create an edit link for “some page” if “some page” does not exist.

[:foo]

This defines a named anchor called “foo”. The named anchor will be invisible, like ordinary anchors in HTML usually are. Note that having a text formatting rule that results in some invisible output is sometimes considered to be straying from the WikiWay?.

Corner of Spring Garden Rd & South Park Street, outside the Lord Nelson Hotel. The low wall, on the left, was perfect for sitting on and was a cruising spot during the 1970's.

The coffee shop in the Lord Nelson was called Murray's Coffee Shop; it was like a diner. Across the street was the Doric Restaurant that was frequented by a large population of gay men.1
