This is taken directly from a GuideML FAQ¹ which you can find on the full official guide to GML page. It it is the best advice I've seen yet as to how to make use of a maximum of GuideML features with a minimum of Mark-up Language skills. Basically, you pinch the knowledge of a complete stranger!

How *do* they do that?

One of the best ways to learn how to use GuideML is to see how other Researchers have done it. If you would like to see what the GuideML looks like in entries, simply type in the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Test123456 where 123456 is the A number of the entry you wish to view the GuideML for. The A number can be found in the 'entry data' box in the top right hand corner of each entry.

So, for this entry, A662384, you'd look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Test662384 (remembering to leave out the letter 'A').

It's slightly different for a Personal Space, though

If you want to look at the GuideML for someone's Personal Space, then type in the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/TestUserPage123456 where 123456 is the U number of the Researcher you wish to view the GuideML for.

I put this up because I had forgotten what the necessary commands were to look at other peoples pages in GML. At worst it will serve only as a reminder to me if I forget again. At best, perhaps someone else may find it useful.
