PBwiki uses standard, simple wiki formatting. You can click the "view wiki source" link in the footer to see how this page is formatted.*

Text formatting

Character Formatting

To make something bold, put 2 * (asterisk) before and after it: **word**
To make something italicized, put 2 ' (apostrophe) before and after it: ''word''
By using 2 _ (underscore) before and after, text can be __underlined__: __word__
~~Strikethrough~~ is done with (space +) 1 - (dash) before and 1 - (dash) (+ space) after: -word-

Here it is at a glance:

One ! at the beginning of a line makes a huge headline (like "Text formatting" above)
Two !! make a big headline (like "Sections" over the Sections section right here)
Three !!! and more--up to 6--make successively smaller headlines

One * (asterisk) + a space at the beginning of a line makes a bullet point, like this.

Use # + a space at the beginning of a line to make a numbered list, like this.

FunnyWords: PBwiki automatically creates a link if you use a word with two Capital letters and lowercase letters in between. For example, SandBox = link, but but sandbox, SANDbox, and Sandbox are normal. We don't like this type of link cause it looks ugly. To prevent the word from becoming a link, add ~ in front of it.
Righteous Proper Links: put [ ] brackets around a word, like Shiny new page
Shiny Links: use [ugly link|pretty text], like [http://ucjas.pbwiki.com/Shiny new page|Shiniess!] to get new page|Shiniess!, or [ucjas@listhost.uchicago.edu|Email listhost] gives Email listhost.
Lazy Links: just paste it in like http://animenfo.com or ucjas@listhost.uchicago.edu.
Uploaded files can be linked to in the same way as everything else. Get the URL of the file by right-clicking on it and copying. Or, it's generally under http://ucjas.pbwiki.com/f/

You can also show pictures in your wiki. Just add the link to the picture in [ ] brackets! For example, [http://pbwiki.com/sandwch2.jpg] gives:

A box like this is made by putting a space in front of the line. If it doesn't seem to work, try adding an extra blank line before/after it.

Table rows can be made by beginning and ending a line with | (vertical bar). The content of the row is placed between the bars. If more than one cell is desired for any particular row, an additional | is used as the separator.

Look Mom!

A table!!

a	b
c	d

<top>
<toc>
- To make the table only link to the largest (!) headlines, use <toc!>.
- To make the table only link to the largest and second-largest headlines (! and !!), use <toc!!>.
