Hello,
From a non technical point of view (i.e. mine) I am finding the Wiki a
very difficult place to edit.
I just had to ask one of the kind fellas here at work to help me add my name to the 'Whos Who' list as there was not a option in the 'Edit (GUI)' tab to add a line as it is not active.
Please can we make this Wiki user friendly to people who cannot use HTML. Or can we order the HTML page views so that someone like me has a hope in hell of understanding it with a book.
Thank you in advance
Tracy x

Anyway, I'm finding myself struggling a bit with the limitations of markup inside tables. It appears there's a macro to address this sort
of thing. Is there any chance someone could install this:
Markup in tables?! Hnnng?! You're not planning on using tables for layout purposes are you? (as apposed to tabular data...)

OK - from the Edit (GUI) type link, to add a row to the table, right click in any cell, hit Insert Row - works very similar to any other editor that does tables :) (Just checked that it worked as I expected, because I'm a "Edit (Text)" person, I like wiki markup and find it quicker and easier than using the GUI).

What do you mean by "order the HTML page views"? I'm not entirely sure that I follow!
Thanks,

Even easier (to my mind) install Mozex in Firefox (or Seamonkey or Mozilla) and having said "Edit (Text)" hit CTRL/E and up pops the HTML in *your own* favourite editor with syntax highlighting or whatever you have set up. In my case it's xvile (a vi clone) with syntax highlighting which I find much more friendly than a basic textarea.
