See documentation guide:
The main documentation uses markdown, allowing wiki content to be used to prototype content.
When page names are simple they directly work as a link, or you can provide your own link text:
[[My Page]]
[please check out my new page](My Page)Please keep page names simple to avoid punctuation. Punctuation is converted to to - when linking - so these are the same:
[[Page Name]]
[[page-name]]Thanks!
To manage images, information to the right to clone the wiki locally.
git clone https://github.com/geonetwork/doc.wiki.git
cd doc.wikiYou can then manage images and files associated with each page:
git add images/logo.png
git commit -m "added logo"
git push
And use the image in markdown content:

See documentation guide terminology conventions:
- GeoNetwork (check capitalisation - use
|project_name|variable) - Metadata Catalog
- Catalog Home Page
- Sub-Portal
See documentation guide markdown:
- References to UI elements such as the sign-in button should be in bold to differentiate them from the surrounding text
