<span class="mw-headline" id="How_do_you_pronounce_XOWA.3F">How do you pronounce XOWA?</span>
</h2>
<p>
The preferred pronunciation is "X' - O - WA". In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA" rel="nofollow" class="external text">IPA</a>, it would be <code>ɛksˈ ō wə</code>.
</p>
<p>
An accepted pronunciation is "ZO' - WA". In IPA, it would be <code>zō wə</code>.

Short answer: Set up the Wikidata wiki (www.wikidata.org). See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Dashboard/Import/Online.html" id="xolnki_3" title="Dashboard/Import/Online">Dashboard/Import/Online</a>. After you install the Wikidata wiki, language links to other wikis will be listed at the bottom of the article.

Long answer: See <a href="http://xowa.org/home/wiki/App/Wiki_types/Wikidata.html" id="xolnki_4" title="App/Wiki types/Wikidata">App/Wiki_types/Wikidata</a>
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Why_do_some_pages_have_sections_that_overlap_each_other.3F">Why do some pages have sections that overlap each other?</span>
</h2>
<p>
Short answer: Images are necessary for some pages to show correctly. (for example, en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Main_Page).
</p>
<p>
Long answer: Some pages have divs that auto-size to their image. If the images are not downloaded, then the divs auto-size around nothing, causing a "collapsed" look. Unfortunately, since there is no image size info in the wikitext, there is little XOWA can do to "force" the div to the correct size.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="How_do_I_print_a_page.3F">How do I print a page?</span>
</h2>
<p>
From the Main Menu, choose File -&gt; Print!
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Why_does_.3Crss.3E_show_up.3F">Why does &lt;rss&gt; show up?</span>
</h2>
<p>
The &lt;rss&gt; tag is used on some wikis. For example, <a href="http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Main_Page</a> uses it in their "Recent Wikimedia blog posts"
</p>
<p>
XOWA doesn't implement the rss tag, because RSS feeds are not available offline. Note the tag is not hidden, because it could be more confusing to see empty space, rather than the literal rss tag.

<span class="mw-headline" id="Why_do_some_characters_show_up_as_boxes.3F">Why do some characters show up as boxes?</span>
</h2>
<p>
Certain articles will have non-English characters that will only be displayed correctly if the proper font is installed
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Arabic</b>: Italicized text may show up as boxes. Install the fonts at /xowa/bin/any/font/arabic/amiri or at <a href="http://www.amirifont.org/" rel="nofollow" class="external free">http://www.amirifont.org/</a>
