Tips

Syntax highlighting

Wrap your C++ Qt/KDE code snippets in <code cppqt n> and </code> to get syntax highlighting (cpp == c++, qt == qt) and numbered lines (n). Replace "cpp" with the language used, e.g. rubyqt for Ruby and pythonqt for Python (soon).

New Templates

To get a list of pages using a template, go to corresponding template page (e.g. Template:movepage) and click "What links here" in the toolbox.

{{movepage|url}}
