How To

To copy a recipe from the word documents to this site, you first need to create a page to put that recipe on, then copy it from Word and paste it into the new page:

To create a new page, first go to the page you would like it to link from (probably here). Scroll to the bottom of that page and select “edit this page.”

You will see a box with the raw text for that page come up. Put the cursor where you want the link to appear, and type the name you want your new page to have. Enclose that name in two sets of brackets (so it looks like ”[[My Page Name]]”). When you have it like you want it, click the “Save” button under the text box.

Now you should see your new link where you put it. Click on that link to go to that page.

You will probably see something saying “This page does not yet exist” (or something similar). That's okay; it doesn't exist because you haven't made it yet. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can click “Create this Page” to start writing here.

One last tip: if you pick a name you have already used, you'll link to the same page. For example, every time you link to chicken it will always go to the same chicken page (chicken, chicken, and chicken all go to the same place).

Once you have a place to copy your recipe to (i.e., after you have followed the instructions for creating a new page), go to that page, scroll to the bottom, and select either “create this page” or “edit this page” (only one of these two options will show up). You will see a text box in the middle of the page. If you are just creating the page now, it will be blank, otherwise it will have whatever text was already on the page.

Leave this alone for a moment, and open the file with the recipe(s) you want to copy over. Once it's finished loading, go to the Edit menu in the top left and select “select all.” All of the text should now be highlighted.

Right-click anywhere on the highlighted text. You will see a menu pop up where you clicked: select “copy.”

Go back to the Webpage. Find the text box in the middle of it. Right click in that text box and select “paste.”

Press the “Save” button underneath the text box.

You can make headers by putting more or fewer '=' around a set of words. Six in a row is the biggest section header, and three is the smallest. You were using six for the section headers and four for each recipe. (so it looks like ====== Chicken ====== and ====Chicken Stock==== )

Make sure to put two carriage returns between paragraphs. If you don't hit Enter twice, it won't show up as a new paragraph.

You can make lists by including two spaces and a star at the beginning of a line. Four spaces indents one more:

• This is a list
• With two items
  • and a sub item

I made that with text that looks like: * This is a list * With two items * and a sub item

(n.b. by LC: After indenting and entering the first item preceded by an asterisk in a series, you can automatically indent and “bullet” the next line by pressing “enter”.)

Put two slashes / at the beginning and end of the word(s) to be Italicized.

I'm not sure what they're called. You can add them with four dashes in a row, like this:

That's ”—-”, all on its own line.
