Talk:Using Wikibooks/Wiki-Markup

Links policy
Today we can use spam to explain the link policy, but it can't replace the prevention of a real tutorial like w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking and w:Wikipedia:External links, with the interwiki and external links descriptions.

So I suggest to at least mention these pages, or to sum them up. Then we would be able to refer to it to consensually revert [//en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Excel_VBA&curid=25784&diff=3058835&oldid=3033758 this kind of additions]. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 14:47, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

More precisely, I consider that there is one main criterion to accept an external link, which have avoided to make Wikipedia a spam bag: it should be a placed as a reference, and not behind a word in the middle of a page, because it's confusing especially in the print versions (example). So I propose to at least mention it here. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 14:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

PDF format of this book has an error, but I don't know how to fix it
The PDF version of Using Wikibooks has an error in this section. At the part explaining how to make a new paragraph with Wikitext, the source code is correct, but the example output text is not actually separated into 2 paragraphs as it should be. The formatting here on the actual webpage is correct, so I'm assuming something more than just editing the webpage here must be done to fix this section in the PDF version.

 * who uploaded it, can this be corrected? -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)


 * As far as I see right now, the issue has been fixed in the pdf generator source code recently. You can try https://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/ . I could also do this myself, but currently I feel to tired. --Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 19:03, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * thanks, I'll try it out at some point. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 20:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
