Index to all Category pages on this Wiki.
To see an alphabetically sorted index of all Category pages on this Wiki, click on the above title.
A Category is a page that is used to collect a group of related pages; see the http://emacswiki.org/ for a good example of how to use categories.
To create a category, create a new page called "Category {topic}", where {topic} is the topic of the category; the page should link to this page, Category Category.
It would also be appreciated if you would add an entry at How do Wiki Categories work describing what kinds of things should be tagged with your category.
For example, the category of personal Wiki home pages is called Category Home Page. To add a person's Wiki home page to the category, place a link to [Category Home Page] on his home page.
By convention, category links are put at the bottom of the page, as shown below.
When there are multiple categories that apply to a page, I feel that it helps to put the categories in order (I prefer alphabetical order).
I was realizing the category system anticipated the tagging [L1 ] or social bookmarking [L2 ] of the web. -- escargo
jdc 24-oct-2007 A new style to specify categories, as introduced by dkf is using a centered table:
!!!!!! |[Category Example]|[Category Debugging]|[Category Science]| !!!!!!
Which will look like this:
AK: Nicer highlighting would, IMVHO:
!!!!!! %|[Category Example]|[Category Debugging]|[Category Science]|% !!!!!!
rendered as:
The '%|' and '|%' marker cause it to be rendered like a table header, and I like the highlighting this achieves better, more contrast to the general background of text on the page.
DKF: That's neat; I'm now using it.
