ebuild documentation

http://www.funtoo.org/Adding_an_Ebuild_to_the_Wiki

i think the first part should have a link to adding the build wiki info. the pages should be linked against each other. & or transclusion at the bottom of this help article. (and a very minor note that the file stuff should be bundled into the fancy notes at the bottom.) =D <3 u guys

Special Characters

To produce pipes:

{{!}}

generates: |

(i think equals needs a similar template?)

   Note

That's right = I added it

Note that in general cases you can use the <nowiki> markup that displays inner content as-is, but for a single character that might have lots of occurrences that's quite a pain.

delete template

to flag a page as a candidate for deletion, insert

{{delete}}

at the top of a page.

Oh that's right, thanks. Maybe this could be good to add in the page, dear BDFL :P -- Pytony (talk)
