when somebody uploads the file, named in the recommended way. The document part number is

usually found on the title page and/or the page footer of Tek manuals.

When uploading a PDF document with a 070-1234-00 style document number, please add it to the [[manuals]] list whether you also reference it elsewhere or not.

Rather than linking to a document on a remote site, prefer to upload of copy of the document to Tekwiki.

It's fine to have text in the first person inside of an attributed quote.

For example, see the quote toward the top of the [[524]] page.

==Tables==

The Mediawiki software is limited in its ability to size pages and tables especially to fit different browsers.

A useful way to ensure that tables you create look reasonable for most viewers is to first resize your browser window so that it just barely shows the following 7 column wide list, widely used on the [[Main Page|main page]], on a single line without reflowing:

* 067-1234-01

* 067-1234-02

* 067-1234-03

* 067-1234-04

* 067-1234-05

* 067-1234-06

* 067-1234-07

</div>

This will tend to give you a window that is slightly narrower than desired by popular web sites. If your table looks good at this window size, it will work for most people.
