Tips for authors:

Below are some helpful tips that may help future authors in confluence:

Problem: Sometimes when using "Rich text" format in edit, inserting an image in the middle of two paragraphs of text makes the font size smaller for one of the paragraphs. E.g.

Solution: go into "wiki markup" mode and delete "& n b s p ; " that should be above the second paragraph text.

Problem: Creating neat equations in confluence
Solution: Unfortunately confluence does not take word 2007 equations. One way is to turn those equations into image files and then inserting images (which is extremely tedious). Another way is to use the LaTex plugin. There is an example of how to use it here.

Problem: Changing the tree structure of the pages
Solution: Go to Browse Space > Pages and click the Tree link. Expand the plus sign as necessary and you can drag and drop pages to change the tree structure.

Problem: How to create a link that will open in a new window
Solution: In the Wiki Markup use the following line of code and modify it for your specific use.
{newwindow:YouPutTheLinkNameHere}YouPutTheURLHere
