Opera Buttons

Opera buttons, searches, and bookmarklets can be marked up using the opsed action. To use:

{-{opbut url=^"New page"^ title=^"New page"^}-}

New page

{-{opbut type=^"js"^ title=^"Alert"^ url=^"javascript:alert('Hello!');"^}-}

Images

To place images on a Wiki page, use:

{{image class="centre" alt="a bulb" title="An Image Link" url="http://nontroppo.org/images/bulb.png" link="Opera7"}}

Links can be external, or internal Wiki links. You don't have to enter a link at all, and in that case just an image will be inserted. You can also use the classes 'left' and 'right' to float images left and right. You don't need to use all those attributes, only url is essential.

Icons

WikiIcons are a good and easy way to enhance your pages

They are easy to use and have four different sizes

{{icon name="opera-xs"}} {{icon name="opera-s"}} {{icon name="opera"}} {{icon name="opera-l"}}
See WikiIcons page for list of icons.

Tables:

To create a table use this code:

{{table columns="3" cellpadding="1" cells="BIG;GREEN;FROGS;yes;yes;no;no;no;###"}} to give:

BIG	GREEN	FROGS
yes	yes	no
no	no

### means the cell is empty.

Coloured Text

{{colour c="blue" text="This is a test."}} gives:

This is a test.

If you want to use hex values:

{{colour hex="#DD0000" text="This is another test."}} to give:

This is another test.
