Macros
Several new macros are now available in the Harvard Wikis.
The Diagram.ly plugin allows Wiki users to create mind maps, flowcharts, organizational charts, and other diagrams. You can choose to add a diagram to an existing page by adding the Diagram.ly macro or you can add a blank page with a diagram by clicking on the “Create” button at the top of the screen.
The Survey and Vote macros allow users to rate and vote on content.
The Disable Commenting macro prevents comments from being added to a page.
- The Numbered Headings macro provides an outline format for your content.
