The picture tutorial below covers the "non-drive" side on a hub gear.
As most folks seem to ride derailleur-equipped bikes, and apparently like to break spokes on the "drive" side, the additional step of removing the set of rear gears will usually be required.
I have covered selecting the right tool for YOUR gearset elsewhere.
You may also have trouble finding short enough spokes for a little folder like my Cinzi shown here.
I got the new spoke shown in the pictures from SJS.

| Oh dear. A broken spoke. |
 |
| 1. the broken spoke comes out easily |
 |
| 2. bending the new spoke to get the right pattern |
 |
| 3. the right pattern has been achieved |
 |
| 4. adding the new spoke nipple |
 |
| 5. screwing the spoke nipple on |
 |
| 6. tightening up the new spoke with a spoke key |
 |
| 7. put the rim tape back on, and that's it done! |
