Thanks. I've been looking through them and they do help. I'm getting the
Syntax down a little bit. But I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing too. I'd
love it there was a site where I could, at the very least, see what people
are doing so I know what possibilities are out there for creating pages.

Obviously if I can see the syntax used behind the scenes even better, but
just knowing that something is possible helps as well.

Thanks again,

Chris

Yes, use the Redirect plugin. See the docs for details.

At the top I have a brief description, then a TOC, then then sub points underneath each header below the TOC. But I'd like the opening paragraph to be a little bit bigger so it stands out more. Is there a way to make a font a little bigger without making it a header?

Yes, you can use the {TAG} plugin to create the HTML <BIG>.

For example, this;

This text is {TAG(tag=big)}bigger{TAG} than normal.

Will produce this:

This text is bigger than normal.

> Second, I'd love to be able to put pictures on the right hand side and have text flow around it. If I just right justify a pic, it shows up on the right, but the left hand space is all blank. Text won't flow in there at all. I've used tables to get around this a little bit, but there are places where having a table wouldn't be practical to the flow of the page. Is there a way to do this in Tikiwiki?

Yes, use the {DIV} plugin.

For example, this:

{DIV(float=right)}{img src=tiki-show_user_avatar.php?user=ricks99}{DIV}Put your text here.

Will produce (image floating to the right of the paragraph):

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis elementum. Nunc ante purus, porttitor eu, scelerisque et, interdum quis, pede. Fusce nec justo. Etiam viverra imperdiet metus. Quisque porta magna eu nulla. Etiam molestie gravida pede. Integer lobortis orci sit amet elit. Donec lectus. Vivamus massa est, sollicitudin ac, vestibulum ut, scelerisque nec, nisl. Vestibulum ipsum. Nulla semper feugiat nunc. Maecenas vel justo. In malesuada pharetra nisl. Etiam consectetuer vehicula diam. Maecenas condimentum volutpat elit. Aliquam erat volutpat.

HTH,
