PBwiki Coding - For the terminally lazy

OK, so you don't like to get your hands dirty, and you don't

want to do coding. No problem.

 

The basic stuff can all be done by clicking the appropriate

buttons on the toolbar while you're in editing mode. It looks

similar to the formatting bar in Word.

 

No, it's not WYSIWYG -- far from it, in fact, since you'll

see the code it inserted for you -- but at least you don't

have to worry about remembering what code does what.

 

To input new text, here's what you do:

 

1. Click on the "Edit page" button at the top of the page.

2. Once you're in editing mode, you'll see the window where

   you type your text.

3. Once you finish typing your text, or while you're at it, apply

   formatting by selecting the text you want formatted and then

   clicking on the appropriate formatting button on the toolbar

   at the top of the editing window.

   Formatting available via the toolbar buttons:

   bold, italic, underline, strikeout, bulleted list, numbered

   list (like this one), horizontal line, table and centered text.

4. Periodically, or at least at the end of your input, click on one

   of the "Preview" buttons on the top or bottom left-hand side

   of the editing window to see what your text will look like.

5. Finally, click on the "Save" button, also found on the bottom

   left-hand side of the editing window, to save your work and

   exit editing mode.

6. That’s it! "Easy peasy," as the "Naked Chef" always says. ;-)

 

To edit existing text, just follow the steps listed above. There’s

one big difference, though: you’ll see the previously entered text

with its codes. The persons who edited the page before you may

have used more advanced code than what's available via the

formatting toolbar, and they may have also used HTML code, so

be very careful to make sure you don’t accidentally delete those

codes -- unless you mean to delete the formatting in question,

that is...

PBwiki Coding - Basics

 

If you like to get your hands a bit dirty, you'll find that

coding some basic formatting is really very easy in PBwiki!

 

I'll show you the code, in case you want to input it manually

as you type your text, but remember that the basic stuff can

be done by clicking the appropriate buttons while you're in

editing mode, as explained in the previous section.

 

Ready? Here we go!

Bulleted and numbered lists

And now for a bulleted list:

 

• first level

    • third level
• back to first

 

 

And a numbered list:

 

1. line one
1. line two
1. line three
2. line four

 

Looks like this under the hood:
