Quick, short, and focused tutorials about how to do common tasks as a ROSE developer. Please create a new wikibook page for each how-to topic. Each how-to wiki page should NOT contain any level one (=) or level two(==) heading so it can be included at the correct levels in the print version of this wikibook.

Create a new page

• optional step: create an account and log in
• Goto: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ROSE_Compiler_Framework/How-tos
• Click on Edit tab on the right top of the How-tos page
• Copy and paste one existing How-to to the end of the page, for example:

==[[ROSE Compiler Framework/How to write a How-to|How to write a How-to]]==
{{:ROSE Compiler Framework/How to write a How-to}}

• rename three places of the pasted text with the desired page name, for example

==[[ROSE Compiler Framework/How to do XYZ|How to do XYZ]]==
{{:ROSE Compiler Framework/How to do XYZ}}

• click save page
• You will see red text trying to link to the not yet existing How to do XYZ page
• click any of the red text, it will bring you to an editing window to add content of your new how-to page
• you can now add new content and save it.
  • Again, each how-to wiki page should NOT contain any level one (=) or level two(==) heading so it can be included at the correct levels in the print version of this wikibook.

Insert image to wiki page

• To use your own image in wiki page, you have to upload the image to http://commons.wikimedia.org/.
• Once you upload the image, it will become public to all wikibooks users. Be sure to declare your copyright if the image is created by yourself.
• Following this instruction to insert image and adjust the layout of your page: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_Wikibooks/Inserting_Images

Rules of the content

• Only level three headings (===) and higher are allowed in a how-to page. This is necessary for the how-to page to be correctly included into the final one-page print version of this wikibook. Sorry about this restriction.
  • Again, please don't use level one (=) or level two (==) headings in a how-to page!
• Keep each how-to short and focused. Readers are expected to only spend 30-minutes or much less to quickly learn how to do something using ROSE.
• After you created a new how-to page and saved your contributions. Please go to the print version to make sure it shows up correctly.
  • Here is the link: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ROSE_Compiler_Framework/Print_version
  • Having new content show up in the print version will make sure it is really visible and consistent with the rest of the book.
• please specify the how-to topic is the current practice or the proposed new ways of doing things. So we can have clear guideline for code review for what is mandatory and what is optional.
