Slide show is cool
I find it cool, anyway. For this reason, the "SS" link is provided at top of every page. If you click it, a slide show version of the page will be displayed. Use arrow keys to navigate. Or space bar, which is equivalent to the down arrow. Use the escape key to get out of the slide show mode. Or, if you move your mouse to the top of the window, a menu will appear.
In order to make a page slide show friendly, you will need to divide contents in small chunks using level 1 headings as in
= <title> =
Note also that anything before the first level 1 heaving will not show up in the slide show mode.
MathJax in Griffin
As of June 7, 2011, MathJax has been installed in Griffin and it seems to work fine. MathJax is an HTML processor that recognizes LaTeX markups.
To use MathJax, inline expressions can be enclosed by a pair of \$'s (the expression \( ... \) is not allowed, as it seems to conflict with MoinMoin). Displayed math formulas can come in a pair of $$'s, or \[ ... \]. However, this method restricts only a single line input (the output can be multiple lines) due to the MoinMoin inserting HTML tags before MathJax can go interpret formulas. The solution for more complex expressions is to call the mathjax parser explicitly. Here are some examples.
Here is an in-line math: $y = 20$.
- Lorentz equation!
$$\begin{align} \dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\ \dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\ \dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy \end{align}$$
- Lorentz equation, again!
\[\begin{align} \dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\ \dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\ \dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy \end{align}\]
Notice that, in the second and the third methods, no line breakage is allowed within the math environment. To avoid this ugliness and the lack of readability, the parser must be called more formally, as shown in the following example. (By the way, note that MathJax is just a HTML post-processor, and MoinMoin is told to simply pass the raw text marked as mathjax format (using any of these methods described here) to MathJax, and so, an interesting side effect is that, any HTML markup can be included in the mathjax parser environment. The example below includes such a markup.)
Lorentz equation — "correctly" done!

\[ \begin{align} \dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\ \dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\ \dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy \end{align} \]
LaTeX
Check out this wonderful book on the web if you are not familiar with LaTeX, or even if.
LaTeX parser in Griffin (deprecated)
It is also possible to use a latex parser, instead of a MathJax parser. However, this is not recommended. The latex parser is kept for some special page like this one, where you can read more about the deprecated latex parser, if you insist.
Custom macros in Griffin
New macros have been added to Griffin to make it quick to include URL links, DOI links, and attachments, etc.
Linking URLs
A URL can be linked like this.
<<ln(http://www.jstor.org/stable/1734697,"A must read by PWA.")>> This lovely article is both deep and popular <<lnfn(http://www.jstor.org/stable/1734697,"A must read by PWA.")>>. This lovely article is both deep and popular <<lnfn(http://www.jstor.org/stable/1734697,"Science 4 August 1972: Vol. 177 no. 4047, pp. 393-396. 'More is Different'.")>>.
This results in the following.
This lovely article is both deep and popular [1].
This lovely article is both deep and popular [2].
Linking DOIs
A DOI can be linked like this.
<<doi(10.1126/science.177.4047.393,"A must read by PWA.")>> This lovely article is both deep and popular <<doifn(10.1126/science.177.4047.393,"A must read by PWA.")>>. This lovely article is both deep and popular <<doifn(10.1126/science.177.4047.393,"Science 4 August 1972: Vol. 177 no. 4047, pp. 393-396. 'More is Different'.")>>.
This results in the following.
This lovely article is both deep and popular [3].
This lovely article is both deep and popular [4].
As an aside, this article is NOT accessible through OCA if I use the Science link (the DOI link), but it IS accessible through OCA if I use JSTOR.org link. This is a useful thing to know as far as papers published in Science are concerned.
Linking attachments
Image files and other files are stored as attachments in Moin. They can then be included in the page by using macros such as lia or la. Note that these are custom macros at griffin.
First, upload your file by using the AttachFile action. This action can be activated by clicking on the A link above, or by the keystroke a anywhere in a page.
Once you have an attachment file, you can link to it by something like <<lia(test.png, clickable = True, scale = 0.5)>> or <<la(test.pdf, "My cool pdf file")>>. In the first case, we are using the lia macro (link image attachment), and in the second case, we are using the la macro (link attachment). Note the lack of space between la/lia and (. That is significant! That is, there should not be any space between the macro name and the parenthesis.
Citing references (Bibtex etc.)
cite (to do -- need to document)
Raw html markups
h [5]
Signing the document
If you like to leave a signature, after you edit a file, or, more frequently, after you make a comment to an existing page, you can write @SIG@. This will expand to your user name and a time stamp.
Odds and ends
Do you want to write '&' but the parser refuses to do so? Then, try
&
Do you want to write '\$'? Well, then all you have to remember is the number 36! Or, you can also escape \$ (this behavior is due to the use of MathJax, an HTML post-processor, in Griffin).
