Getting Started

You must log in to edit the Discussion page. For permission to edit the main pages, contact documentation@embarcadero.com.

• Click the Edit tab to display the wiki markup and optionally edit the displayed topic.
• Click the Discussion tab to ask or answer a question about the topic.

Basic Wiki Tags When You are Editing or Writing

To create a bulleted paragraph, enter a star or an asterisk (*) in the first column. Use multiple stars for nested levels, as follows:

• * (one star) gives you a top-level bullet, like this one.
  • ** (two stars) give you a second-level bullet, like this one.
    • *** (three stars) give you a third-level bullet, like this one.

To create a hyperlink to another topic on the docwiki, enclose the topic name in double brackets, as follows:

 [[Object Inspector]] = Object Inspector

To create a hyperlink to the VCL, add the 'vcl_en:' prefix. For other languages, use vcl_de, _fr, and _ja. Specify the title using a | to eliminate the prefix from the link:

[[vcl_en:Forms.TForm|Forms.TForm]] = Forms.TForm

To link from the VCL to the Topics, use the 'rad_en:' prefix in the same way as the VCL prefix:

[[rad_en:Object Inspector|Object Inspector]] = Object Inspector

To link to code samples, use the samp: prefix:

[[samp:TrySystemTimeToDateTime (Delphi)|TrySystemTimeToDateTime (Delphi)]] = TrySystemTimeToDateTime (Delphi)

To create headings of various levels, start and end the line with one or more equals signs (=). A top level heading has one equals sign, and lower headings have more equals signs, as follows:

Sample Heading 2

 ==Heading 2 Has Two Equals Signs==

Sample of Heading 3

 ===Heading 3 Has Three Equals Signs===

Adding a Page to the Docwiki

1. In a related topic (one that needs to link to the topic you want to create), add a link to the new topic:

   [[new topic]]

2. Save the page.
3. Click the (red) link to your new topic.
4. Now you can start writing the new topic.
   • At the top, add a parent tag (to provide the "Go Up to" link in the H2 help):

   {{parent|higher topic}}

   that points to the topic located above your topic in the help organization (the Table of Contents).

   Note: If you are unsure about which is the parent topic, contact khouser@embarcadero.com.

   • At the bottom, add an optional See Also list:

   ==See Also==
