There's still smiley - cake and hot smiley - tea dear, and yeah, probably not the best idea advertising the fact that I'm 12, especially when I'm actually just about to turn 27. smiley - laugh

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence

I'd be here more often and more loquacious, but I'm still in hospital, lying on my side and typoing one-handed [sic]. And the facility's free wifi has been unsteady the past few days. smiley - cross

In a few weeks I hope I can be sitting up to type, though, and then you'll be wishing I'd shut up. smiley - silly

smiley - cheers Vegiman I shall go check it out, though I should probably just relearn GuideML and stop being lazy smiley - yawn

*passes smiley - cake to A-Lil and everyone else...must be magic cake since despite cutting it seems not to be getting smaller, though hides smiley - ale to keep vegiman from any more accidents*

smiley - laugh 12 years is a long time, I was only 14 when I joined, back in the days before hootoo moved to the BBC! And even before GuideML!!! smiley - senior *puts in ear trumpet* Though since I was MIA for a over half of that time it's not that impressive.

A-Lil, hope you feel better soon! smiley - cheerup

Pastey

What we've done is strip standard html out from the GuideML, the new editor replaces the old plain text editor and handles all the layout code for you.
The widget stuff is still in GuideML, and you still need to switch to the GuideML editor to use that.
But if you just want to write, it's now a lot easier.

Hi Pastey always great to hear from you.

why is it just in Brunel or is this on the 2do list for other skins ?

I use Goo - found it by accident although you informed me that it was on the cards.

Moving on from the serious stuff.
smiley - roses
for A-Lil and takes some more everlasting smiley - cake

The new editor is actually in Pliny smiley - winkeye

When the beeb had the Guide, they decided on Brunel being the default skin. So, all development that they did was focussed on that. Including all the ed tools etc, they were all built into the skin.

We're moving away from that now with funkier features in Pliny, and moving all the tools out of the older skins so that they can actually work properly smiley - smiley
