Digital Object Identifiers

To reference a document in some remote database where you don't have a permanent URL for it, the database might provide you with a Digital Object Identifier, e.g. 10.1109/WICSA.2005.35 which can be turned into a URL by prefixing the address of a certain server, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/WICSA.2005.35

This will be espeically useful in referencing articles in past WICSA conference proceedings.

Tables

Cell 1, row 1	Cell 2, row 1 (and 2)	Cell 3, row 1
Cell 1, row 2		Cell 3, row 2

Here’s a table example. Note the floating table to the right.

 {| align=right border=1
 | Cell 1, row 1 
 |rowspan=2| Cell 2, row 1 (and 2) 
 | Cell 3, row 1 
 |- 
 | Cell 1, row 2 
 | Cell 3, row 2 
 |}
