Introducing the PF Library

[Kurdt]

Comments shouldn't really be used for asking questions. If you see any more report the item and tell us that it is the comment you want looking at. The mentors can then send a message to the user and tell them to post in the appropriate forum. It might be a good idea to state this explicitly somewhere, perhaps at the start of this thread.

Understood, thanks Kurdt.

Question:
How does the autolinking feature handle cases such as:
- 'momentum' and 'angular momentum'
- 'mechanics' and 'statistical mechanics'

The reason for my question:
Tiny-tim has informed me that the autolinking feature interferes with creating an entry 'inertia' in the PF library. When a PF editor is writing about 'moment of inertia' the autolinking feature will link the entry 'inertia' instead.

This is a general question; the issue does not affect me directly, for in my editing options I have disabled the autolinking for my posts.

I have found the library's Image feature to be quite cumbersome. However ...

Normal image-tagging works in the Extended Explanation and Scientists section of a library entry. It does not work in the Definition/Summary or Equations sections. The format for image tagging is [noparse][/noparse][I]url-of-image-to-be-posted[/I] , just as in a normal forum post. This may be preferable to using the designated Image section of the entry, as it allows multiple images to be viewed quickly and simultaneously with the text of the entry.
