Letting readers leave comments without logging in
If php isn't available on you site, as I believe it isn't here on the pbwiki, you can still use something like Haloscan to allow your readers to leave feedback, see
http://www.haloscan.com/
It works something like the following:

Tables
The table was created in the Classic Edit mode with the following code
<table> <tr> <td> <a href="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbwiki.com/f/BeyondTheBlueMoon.jpg"><img width=50 heigth=75 float="left" src="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbworks.com/f/BeyondTheBlueMoon.jpg"></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbwiki.com/f/BloodyCrownOfConan.jpg"><img width=50 heigth=73 float="right" src="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbworks.com/f/BloodyCrownOfConan.jpg"></a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbwiki.com/f/BeyondTheBlueMoon.jpg"><img width="75%" heigth="75%" float="left" src="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbworks.com/f/BeyondTheBlueMoon.jpg"></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbwiki.com/f/BloodyCrownOfConan.jpg"><img width="75%" heigth="75%" float="right" src="http://whiteunicornbooks.pbworks.com/f/BloodyCrownOfConan.jpg"></a> </td> </tr> </table>
Note the use of both the fixed width and height atributes as well as using a percentage. The use of both the image [ <img ...> ] and the anchor [ <a ....></a> ] html is to allow a user to see the full picture by clicking on the image while, at the same time, controling the size for formating the page where the image appears.
Making a toc
First for the Point & Click Editor.
Setting up the Table of Contents:
- Sign in, go to the page you want to make the toc and click on Edit Page.
- Place your cursor at the top of the page (or where ever you want to have the toc).
- Click on Insert Plugin, choose PBwiki magic, then click Table of Contents
Making the Headings for the Table of Contents:
- Go to where you want the heading and type in the heading text.
- Click and drag to highlight the heading text, then click on the down arrow for Format and choose you heading level (1 is largest size print, then 2, etc.)
- Click off of the highlight to deselect the heading text and repeat as wanted.
For html:
Insert the following where you want the toc
<img isapbwikiplugin="1" contenteditable="false" class="pluginslug" src="/plugin_helper.php?plugin=toc&depth=3" />
Put the headings on a line by themselves preceeded by an exclamation mark and a space, i.e.
Heading text
or
Level 2 Heading
etc.
Working with styles
We are going to define some styles and see what we can do in our pbwiki. The styles are
<style type="text/css"> .pagetext1 {font-face:arial; color:black; background:#FF66FF; font-weight:600} .pagetext2 {font-face:arial; color:black; background:#FF6600; font-weight:600} .plaintext {font-face:arial; color:black; font-weight:100} .pagetextheadlines {color:blue; font-size:14pt;} </style>
|
playing around with styles - this is pagetxt1 declared in the row (tr) designator
|
|
playing around with styles - this is pagetxt2 declared in the column (td) designator
|
|
playing around with styles - this is plaintext declared in the column (td)designator
|
|
playing around with styles - this is pagetextheadlines with no declaration in either the column or row but using the class "function" in the font designation and the normal text.
|
|
pagetxt2 declared in the row (tr) designator.
It appears that the background color doesn't come across but is described instead in the CSS file for all time to come. Of course, if I had made these declaration in the CSS file they might have worked. Instead they are made at the beginning of the page and so certain thing appear to be overridden by the CSS file.
The border, cellspacing, and cellpadding for the tabe don't see to work, an over all bgcolor attribute works for the table but not for individual rows or columns.

Changing font sizes
If you don't (can't) define styles in a css file - it requires a Platinum upgrade for pbwiki, see
http://newfaq.pbwiki.com/#WhatdoesupgradingtoPremiumdoforme
you can control the size of your fonts through HTML. For smaller font sizes you can use
<font size="1"> text ........</font>
This is an example of the 1 size.
For larger font sizes you can use
<font size="3"> text ........</font>
This is an example of the 3 size.
You can also use "-1" or "+1" (or other numbers) for smaller or larger text. Play around with it.
From MS Word to the wiki
The following is a copy and paste from a Microsoft Front Page document which was created by a copy and paste from a MS Word document. The original was formatted as the three levels of headings with a paragraph following each heading (BTW the paragraph indents are explained below, I think):
HEADING 1
The beginning of a new major section oipuergf qeropui qepruih qepi
qerpihupqerui qerphp uihpiuqer qerpiuhp werqfpuihh qwperiuh qwerpih qerpuih
HEADING 2
The beginning of a new level two section oipuergf qeropui qepruih qepi
qerpihupqerui qerphp uihpiuqer qerpiuhp werqfpuihh qwperiuh qwerpih qerpuih
HEADING 2
The beginning of a new level three section oipuergf qeropui qepruih qepi
qerpihupqerui qerphp uihpiuqer qerpiuhp werqfpuihh qwperiuh qwerpih qerpuih.
Here we will have a link http://www.WhiteUnicornBooks.pbwiki.com and a
change in color of the font.
Searching your wiki site
4 Sci-Fi Books for sale. Well not really, this is just to test searching on site.
Want to search on site? use the following
You can either do a view source or look here for the code.
Paragraph Indent
After inserting the following code
<style>#displaycontent p { text-indent:40px; }</style>
paragraphs will be indented. But only if there is also a blank line between the paragraphs. For some examples see ParagraphIndents
Of course you can get around this by inserting the "non breaking space" code at the begining of the line. That is, insert at the beginning of the line as was done here at the beginning of this paragraph.
Colored background or fonts
The following shows the code used to produce the blue and green section which follows that. Actually the code is better formatted than that, but I haven't yet learned how to do a carriage return line feed without going out of the raw tags.
<raw escaped="0"> <div style="background: #0000FF;"> <font color=white> The Ascii character set can be seen at <a href="http://www.lookuptables.com/"><font color=red>http://www.lookuptables.com/</font></a> and can be introduced in a pbwiki by using the HTML escape sequence. That is, start with an "&#" (no quotes) followed by the number of the character and then a semi colon. For example ! will produce a ! How do we get something other than the extended Ascii characters? Something like æ£é«”ä¸æ–‡
--- Ñ™ --- z z z z z </font> <center> <div width="80%" style="background: #00ff00;"> <tr> <td> a a a a a a a a a a a a </td> </tr> </div> </center> </div>
Foreign Languages and the ASCII Character Set
The Ascii character set can be seen at http://www.lookuptables.com/ and can be introduced in a pbwiki by using the HTML escape sequence. That is, start with an "&#" (no quotes) followed by the number of the character and then a semi colon. For example ! will produce a !
