-====== Syntax =====+===== How do I Create a Page? ==== 
 +Creating a page has a few steps to get it just right: 
 +  * In the search bar, type ''lcars:'' followed by the page you want to create 
 +    * Use lower case 
 +    * Replace non-alphanumeric characters (such as the apostrophe) with an underscore ''_'' 
 +  * Click the <color #ed1c24>__red link__</color> after the message ''If you didn't find what you were looking for, you can create or edit the page'' 
 + 
 +Once in the editor window, use ''Preview'' to check the contents of your new page to make sure it looks how you want it to. Then, use ''Save'' to finalize the changes. Refer to the syntax guide below for more information on how to format your page. 
 + 
 +Example: to create the page for ''Tri'a K'mnzi'', you would search for ''lcars:tri_a_k_mnzi''. This ensures that when you link a page using the double-brackets syntax (ignoring the slashes) ( ''\[\[Tri'a K'mnzi\]\]'' ), it links automatically to the page.

 +===== Syntax =====
 DokuWiki does not use the familiar Markdown language which Discord and Discourse uses. Instead, it uses a special Wiki syntax which can be thought of us as progenitor to Markdown. Instead of reproducing the individual guides, we'll link to the different sites which contain detailed instructions. DokuWiki does not use the familiar Markdown language which Discord and Discourse uses.

-====== Namespaces ======+===== Namespaces =====
 Pages and media (ie images, files) in DokuWiki are stored with a colon-deliminated path where each colon is like a directory name. For instance, this page is called ''lcars:contribute''. You can think of this as ''C:\lcars\contribute.html'' if it helps. Pages and media (ie images, files) in DokuWiki are stored with a colon-deliminated path where each colon is like a directory name.

 Therefore, when creating a new page, ensure it is in the ''lcars:'' namespace. If you need to store assets which other pages use, place them in the ''lcars:img'' namespace. Otherwise, store the assets directly under the page you're creating (such as ''lcars:uss_brahe:deck_layout''. Therefore, when creating a new page, ensure it is in the ''lcars:'' namespace.
