Current Projects
[edit]- 1) I am currently making regular edits to these and other Central Texas articles:
- 2) Developing and maintaining several articles on "alternative Wiki" sites
- because they were otherwise deemed not notable enough for Wikipedia.
- Just ask if you'd like to see them and I will give you the url
- At least one is being extensively re-edited from scratch, with a neutral point of view,
- for possible re-submittal to Wikipedia.
- 3) Experimenting with creating new userboxes and other items on Wikipedia in the sandbox
- 4) Experimenting with text boxes with varying background colors

- (Note: Pre-prepared citations from local books and resources re Round Rock, Georgetown and Williamson County are are available at: [User:Austex/Sandbox]
- Wikipedia has an automatic "citation generator" located HERE
- You just fill in the blanks and it generates a relatively decent fully formatted citation.
- Or feel free to copy and paste the following citation formats into your article and then fill in the blanks:
- WEB CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate= }}</ref>
- NEWS CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite news |title= |first= | last= |coauthors= |newspaper= |date= |url= |accessdate= }}</ref>

- CITE JOURNAL: . . .<ref>{{Cite journal| last= | first = | authorlink= | coauthors= | title= | journal = | volume= | issue= | pages= | publisher= | location= | date= | url= | issn= | doi= | id= | accessdate = }}</ref>

Article texts site
[edit]- User:Austex/Special Page/Article_Texts is used to place full articles or portions of articles that are only available through paid archive subscriptions. In such cases the actual text is transposed to this page.
- .
Use of COLOR
[edit]- To simplify, hit edit and then copy the code below and insert your color # (don't forget to use the # sign before the actual color number):
- Bold colored text #800080 goes here
- Here is how the code actually looks in edit format:
- <span style="color:#800080">''' Bold colored text #800080 goes here''' </span>
- Translates as: Bold colored text #800080 goes here
- For a complete list of all available colors you can use click: HERE
- For my own editorial remarks I use "North Texas Green" color #059033
- I copy this code: ' text here '
Formatting
[edit]
- For large type use {{{ 1 }}} with <span style="font-size:large">{{{ 1 }}}</span>
- For carriage returns and spacing, use: <br> for line break; or <\nl> for new line; or {{pad|4em}} where the number is an amount of length in px.
- Code for creating a box (change color code #FFAD2 for a different background color):
- {{-}}<div align="center"> {| style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; text-align: center; border-left: black 1px solid; background-color: #d8ffd8 ; border-top: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid" class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" width="30%" |- ! Text goes here, this background color is #D8FFD8, and the box size is 30% wide. |} </div> :::Translates as:
Text goes here, this background color is #d8ffd8, and the box size is 30% wide. |
