The classic editor of PbWiki is the one that employs plain text and wiki markup. When you make bold or italic text in this editor, you type **bold** or ''italic'' and it looks that way until you preview it. When you preview or save your wiki markup, the classic editor outputs HTML for your web browser. The wiki markup has some subtle effects. Some extra tweaking can help improve the HTML output.

• Paragraphs below lists

This is the first paragraph after a bullet list. Normally, an empty line in the classic editor outputs a paragraph break (the </p><p> tags), but this does not happen after a list. To format this paragraph correctly, type two empty lines after the list. This will insert the paragraph break, which is important for the <p> tag that opens this paragraph. This opening tag (along with the CSS style for paragraphs) provides the space below this paragraph to separate the next paragraph.

This is counterintuitive. To insert a space between the first and second paragraphs after a list, you put the extra empty line before the first paragraph. The two empty lines are only necessary when there are at least two paragraphs after the list.
