Hello, in this tutorial you will learn how to
use the table

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:17.000
feature of wiki to display data or layout a
wiki page.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.660
The goal is to enhance the

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:27.320
presentation of your wiki site. For example,
in this wiki site we would like

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:33.000
to present our experimental data on the data
collection page.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:39.000
So we come to this page and click edit.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:45.000
If you like you can also add a title or some
explanation about the table.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.000
But here I just want to show you how to insert
a table.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Click insert a new table icon.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.570
A pop-up window

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:57.400
appears.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
For the spacing, each we choose two pixels.

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.000
We want to align the table in the center.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.000
For the border we choose one pixel.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:37.000
So we can click insert. We can leave the width
and height blank for now.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.000
And when we type in our data or text, the
table will be stretched.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.000
So here we will present three sets of data.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.830
We have sample one, sample

00:01:53.860 --> 00:02:00.000
two, and the sample three. And also we type in
weight of weighing paper

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.000
plus the weight of potassium, hydrogen,
phthalate.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.790
The units is grams and the other measurement.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.790
And of course if we have the experimental
data, we can also fill in.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.000
Just to save time, I think you get the idea
how to create a table,

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.000
add a table and fill in your data. And after
you complete, click save.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.170
If later you want to add more data or you want
to

00:02:32.170 --> 00:02:37.960
modify any of these text or data, you can
always click edit and continue to work on it.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.810
Now let's take a look at another type of table

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:50.000
usage. That is to use the table to layout our
page.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.810
In the home page, we would like to add a table
of content.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:08.860
I click edit button. And first I type table of
content.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.000
And I want it to be

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.000
heading, use the heading one. And then I want
line in the center.

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Now I insert a table to layout of our table of
content.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.000
And for this wiki project, I have totally six
pages.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Therefore I just want one column and then six
rows to list all six pages.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.000
If you have big wiki project, say 20 pages,
you may want to use two columns

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.000
and ten rows to layout your table of content.
And for the cell

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.000
spacing, maybe I use three pixels.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.060
For the border here, because we just use this
table to layout our content,

00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:04.440
not really to present the data. So we don't
want the border to show up. Therefore we choose zero as a

00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:07.690
border. Now the table is

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.250
inserted. Also I want this table

00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:20.000
of content to list all the pages in the
center.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.790
So actually in the table feature, I also
choose align to the center.

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.000
So now I can type in my page title.

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.570
First introduction, then

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.000
experiment. Next one is data collection. And
so on and so

00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.190
forth. You know how to fill the rest. And also
I want

00:04:48.190 --> 00:04:50.790
to have a little bit

00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:58.000
larger size. Size three. So I do the same
thing

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:04.480
for the other. So I want to link each

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.120
title to the page. So introduction is linked
to

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.200
the introduction page. And

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:25.180
experiment to the experiment

00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:30.000
page. And data collection, of course,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.000
to the data collection page. So to save time,
I will just not continue.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.000
But I think you get an idea how you can use
the table feature of wiki

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.000
to layout your page.

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.000
Now suppose I'm on the results and discussion
page.

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.000
I would like also to have navigation links.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.000
So that people can click the next to the next
page.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000
Or the previous to previous page.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.000
So that they don't have to always come back to
the table of content.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.000
And then to see what's next. Click edit.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000
Suppose we have some content already.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.000
So here I just go to the bottom of the page.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.000
And then I add previous.

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.000
You can also write previous page. I just write
previous.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.000
I think it's pretty clear. And then next for
next page.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.000
And also maybe I want to align them in the
center.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.000
Also make it a little bit bigger. Or make it
bold.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.000
And then the previous page. And then the
previous page. I want to link to the previous page.

00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:01.000
Since this is the results and discussion page.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.000
So the previous page is the data collection.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.000
So I select the data collection. Link to this
page.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.000
And then the next page. I click insert. And
then the next page.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.000
The next page. The next page. Is linked to the
conclusion.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.800
Now I click

00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.860
save. So suppose here we

00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.000
already have. The results and discussion text
here. And after reading.

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.410
These results and discussion. I can click
next. To go to the conclusion page. And of course the same

00:07:35.410 --> 00:07:39.450
thing on conclusion page. You can also add a
previous. Link to previous page. And the next page. In this

00:07:39.450 --> 00:07:47.400
case. Is to the graphs page. I think you get
the idea. Thank you

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:57.000
for watching.
