Basics
Diagrams make discussing Go much easier. Don't worry, they are quite easy to use. You may want to click on [Edit page] to the left in order to see the way diagrams work.
Diagrams are automatically made available as SGF files - clicking on their graphic will start a download for you.
All diagram lines start with two dollar signs "$$ ". The first line is the title line - use a short descriptive title. The diagram itself looks just like you are used from newsgroups or email discussions:
You can also include markup:
MovesYou can use numbers 1-9 and 0 on stones ('0' is used for '10'). By default "1" is a black stone with the color alternating (i.e. 2 is white, 3 is black, 4 is white ....) You can change that behaviour by using "$$W" in the title line: "1" is then a white stone.
Coordinates and board sizeYou can add coordinates to the board as well. In the first line of a diagram add 'c' for coordinate after the color tag (B/W). For example, "$$Bc diagram title".
You don't have to specify the size, if the diagram shows the full board (i.e. including all 4 edges, the size is calculated automatically then).
Example. Note, how the top left is now A13, instead of A19.
Summary of title lineThe first line of a diagram is the title line. It has the format of $$Xczz title where
The first three parts are optional, but have to appear in that order - without any space in between. If you are in edit-mode and scroll down the window you will see that we have put two diagrams there for you to copy & paste. Also, there's a quick help included as well. Any questions left? DiscussionAvatarDJFlux Yes, please. How do you number the diagrams in their titles? So that it reads: Diag. 1: Title of diagram ArnoHollosi: Is there a need for such a feature? Won't renumbering diagrams be painful, when you add/move diagrams? unkx80: Numbering of diagrams does pose quite a lot of problems when inserting/deleting diagrams, such as the mess in BigQuestionMarkProblem8 before WikiMasterEditing. As such, there was consensus that we don't want to number diagrams. That's why I have stripped all the diagram numbers when I WikiMasterEdited that page.
AvatarDJFlux Thx mates, there's some sense in what you say... ;-) HolIgor has made a utility which formats a text diagram such as given by WinMGT to a format suitable for copy-and-pasting into SL.
