Markup

Hi Patrick - Orders and Requests Pattern is an excellent page, but could I suggest that some headers/highlighting be added to make the structure somewhat more visible? See Basic Editing for hints... Rene spronk 00:19, 2 September 2006 (CDT)

Good idea. I will look at the editing info and give it a go. More to come.Ployd 16:03, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Ta. I redirected the old Orders RMIMs page to your new one. BTW, you'll find that bulleted lists are much easier to create and use in a Wiki than tables. So whereever possible I'd recommend the use of lists instead of tables.. Rene spronk 00:01, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

Understood. But I really like the four columns I've set up on the models page. Any ideas?Ployd 15:11, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

This is one of those cases where lists simply don't work (grin). Rene spronk 22:23, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

Too bad. I was hoping for some wiki magic to help me (tables). Take a look at the new and improved pattern walkthrough when you get a chance (if you wouldn't mind).Ployd 22:57, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

OK, you asked for it (grin). I changed the syntax (serach/replace) of Orders and Requests Pattern into a Wiki specific one, and added some section headers. These also allow for sections to be edited (on a section by section basis) instead of the entire document. I've also added an image of the R-MIM, not all readers may have access to Visio. What is the intent of the page? can links be added to other pages/material already present on the wiki, or is this a draft text for the stadard (in which case you don't want links to other content). One comment on the page content: the pattern appears to be related to static models only, and not to dynamic models. Is this true? The scope of the pattern should probably be documented on the page..

Most excellent. I didn't know how to create that contents box (I see how now). Intent of this page was to give me a chance to play with the wiki and "start" setting up the OO content which is current being collaborated on. Thanks for all the tips. I like the idea of the .gif along with the download for the visio. I'll add links as we develop the material but don't want to re-create the ballot on the wiki.Ployd 13:49, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

Agree you shouldn't want to recreate the ballot - but if one doesn't have visio installed its still nice to have a picture when reading a lengthy walkthrough.. Rene spronk 14:12, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
