Finding the right color in Silverlight

Croozeus - Formatted

Hi influencer,

I just formatted the links and bulletified it. For external links - we just use one square bracket. syntax [link http:mylink.com]

I feel such links are useful and listing them here makes it easy for other developers to find. To complement such a collection of links - you may add a small project to illustrate how you used the material in these links, if you have time that is!

Do you feel such links would better fit into any sections here? If yes, we can move it there. We may add a section for Color there if you like, http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Windows_Phone_development_-_useful_links

Influencer - Great idea!

Hi Pankaj,

sorry for the formatting errors. Is there a list of formatting syntax I can use to prepare articles offline?

I think adding it to the big link list might help, but keeping the article by itself is also useful so it can be found easier and maybe people stumble over it and copy a link to it so they can return.

Hamishwillee - Formatting syntax

Hi Thomas

> Is there a list of formatting syntax I can use to prepare articles offline?

Check out Help:Formatting, Help:Links - indeed there are lots of help topics in the "Help" link at the top of the left sidebar. Links are like

[[Name of article]] - internal link to another wiki article
[[Name of article|custom text to display]]  - internal link to another wiki article but display custom text
[url-to-external-page custom-text-to-display] - external link with your custom text
[url-to-external-page] - displays as [1]
url-to-external-page - just displays as linked url.

>I think adding it to the big link list might help, but keeping the article by itself is also useful so it can be found easier and maybe people stumble over it and copy a link to it so they can return. I agree. Fine to have in both

Pankaj, thanks for chasing this up!

Kiran10182 - Bold or shy!

Hi,

I removed bold attribute from all the link names to make it more "user friendly". :)

Thanks.

Hamishwillee - Thanks Kiran

Kiran is right - use styling only where necessary. It isn't necessary here because links area automatically highlighted to a site-standard level. As a rule I restrict bold for filenames and button presses, Icode for code markup inline. Other than that, bold and italic only used where a word is vital.

Keeping it simple usually results in better articles - especially when the site goes through a rebrand and any complicated layout (not that this is) may get broken.

I will delete all comments next time I come back to this article as I believe everything has been addressed.
