Wiki formatting

Consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.

==Level headings==

Level headings are surrounded by one or more '<tt>=</tt>' symbols.  Each level has one more '<tt>=</tt>' than the higher level.

The 2nd-to-top level heading is the highest level that should be used in a page and is entered like this:

<pre>
==Level headings==
</pre>

==Emphasis (italics, bold, etc.)==

Refer to the MediaWiki [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting formatting page] for help with text formatting.

==Code snippets==

Small snippets of Gosia inputs can be put in pages if they are generally applicable.  (Solutions for special cases should be communicated via the [http://www-user.pas.rochester.edu/~gosia/phpBB3/ Gosia forum].)  To enter a code snippet, type for example

<pre>
<pre>
OP,INTG
5,5,300,320,25,35
300,305,315,320,325
...
&lt;/pre>

</pre>

==Latex math==

Equations can be entered using a subset of the Latex math-mode tags, such as the following:

<pre>
<math>\Delta I = ^-2</math>

<math>\xi=1.4</math>

</pre>

Each formula is rendered either as HTML for simple formulas that can be typed into a single line

<math>\Delta I = ^-2</math>

<math>\xi=1.4</math>

or into a PNG image for complex formulas, e.g. involving fractions.

Formatting of complex equations has been fixed (August 2011).  The wiki will now render nearly any proper Latex formula.  Examples:

<pre>
<math>
\langle I_f\|E2\| I_i\rangle=\biggl[-\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\|+\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\|\biggr]\widehat{E2}
\biggl[\alpha_i\|I_i K=5\rangle+\beta_i\|I_i K=6\rangle\biggr]=
</math>
<math>
-\alpha_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle+\alpha_f\beta_i\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle
</math>
<math>
-\beta_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle+\alpha_i\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle
</math>
</pre>

<math>
\langle I_f\|E2\| I_i\rangle=\biggl[-\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\|+\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\|\biggr]\widehat{E2}
\biggl[\alpha_i\|I_i K=5\rangle+\beta_i\|I_i K=6\rangle\biggr]=
</math>
<math>
-\alpha_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle+\alpha_f\beta_i\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle
</math>
<math>
-\beta_i\beta_f\langle I_f K=5\| E2\| I_i K=6\rangle+\alpha_i\alpha_f\langle I_f K=6\| E2\| I_i K=5\rangle
</math>

<pre>
<math>
f(x)=\frac{\int_a^b e^{-x^2} dx}{\frac{x}{x+\frac{1}{x+2}}}
</math>
</pre>

<math>
f(x)=\frac{\int_a^b e^{-x^2} dx}{\frac{x}{x+\frac{1}{x+2}}}
</math>

==Footnoting==

Enter text to be included in footnotes as in the following example:

<pre>
The semiclassical Coulomb excitation theory is appropriate 
for multi-step heavy-ion excitations.<ref>The applicability 
of first and second order perturbation theories is limited 
to light-ion induced Coulomb excitation.</ref>
</pre>

which produces the text:

The semiclassical Coulomb excitation theory is appropriate for multi-step heavy-ion excitations.<ref>The applicability of first and second order perturbation theories is limited to light-ion induced Coulomb excitation.</ref>

and the footnote at the end of this page.

Every page which has one or more footnotes must have the tag 
<pre>
<references/> 
</pre>
to tell MediaWiki where to put the footnotes.  This should be in the last section of the page, titled <nowiki>"Notes"</nowiki>.
