=== Insert menu: === | |||
This is a list of all options that appear after selecting the "Insert" drop down menu on the toolbar. | |||
* The "Media" icon (a picture of mountains) opens the media dialog. | |||
* The "Template" icon (a puzzle piece) allows you to edit templates. | |||
* The "Table" item allows you to insert a table. | |||
* The "Comment" item (a speech balloon) allows you to insert comments that are not visible to readers; these comments can be seen only when in edit mode, where they are indicated by an exclamation mark icon. In edit mode, pressing on the exclamation mark icon allows you to edit or delete the comment. | |||
* The "Gallery" icon (a set of photos) allows you to insert a gallery to the page. | |||
* The "Chemical formula" allows you to insert a chemical formula to the page. | |||
* The "Math formula" icon (Σ) opens the formula inserter dialog. | |||
* The "Your signature" item allows you to insert a signature that you use on the project. It will be greyed out (not selectable) when you are editing a type of page (a "namespace"), such as an article, where signatures should not be inserted. | |||
* The "References list" icon (three books) opens a dialog in which you can specify where references will be displayed to the reader. Usually this needs to be done only once on a page. | |||
