Creating and editing files in GammaWiki
It is very simple to create a new page in Wiki. A good way is to refer to the new page from a page that is already existing like this: Title of new page (please look at the source code by going into the editing mode to see how it should be written). The file will get the name "new page" but the link will be displayed as "Title of new page".
Creating a new page
You then save the page you are referring from and when you click on the link you just created, the wiki-system will automatically create the new page for you.
E.g. information on estimation of uncertainties can be found at: Combined uncertainty calculations
You can use some familiar text formatting tools displayed at the top of this frame, like bold, italics, etc. First you select the text you want to change the attribute of, then you click the icon of the attribute you want to apply and the result is at once visible in the source code.
You can even apply an ordinary http link, [1]
If you want to see how the text looks before it is saved, you can click the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the page.
Creating links
The simplest way to link to a web page is to write the URL, without any formatting code, such as: http://www.nks.org/ The "http://" must be included
If the information on the web site is the main thing, the URL itself being of minor importance (and possibly being long and obscure), then it is easy to let the Wiki show a label instead of the URL. One writes first the URL then a space and then the label (which can contain spaces), all included in square brackets []. See the following example in the source code:

Please do not be afraid to experiment. All saved versions of GammaWiki pages are saved in the history file and it is thus always possible to revert back to an earlier version
