Snippet Type Examples?

I'd like to make some snippet style examples, for things like Wifi.scan and Wifi.connect etc..., but I don't think they really fit in with the examples on the Tutorials page, the ones there are more like full projects rather than just how to use a single function. However I don't just want to post them on the forum as I'd like them to appear on the Reference as a link to an example. I believe these links are auto-generated from the other pages on espruino.com, am I correct?

Yes, the links on the Reference are made just by scanning sections of code in the pages on the website.

I'd add the code to here: http://www.espruino.com/ESP8266_WifiUsage

There's already an example of using connect there, and it seems to fit quite well given it's ESP8266-specific...

Thanks, but if Wifi.connect is used on WifiUsage, why isn't that linked as an exaple on the reference for Wifi.connect?

That's a good point! I'll try and take a look into it :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
