Having been struggling to try and learn to use GuideML for some little time today I found this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/hub/F94227?thread=249584 I think the second posting could be useful to many other hopeless cases like myself.

Or this entry: A690518 for getting started with GuideML (yes, I'm doing a bit of self-advertising here...)

Traveller in Time 'one of the wise guys' not a <./>GURU</.> however
"I think both the thread and the entry explain a lot.
However how about starting to create an entry 'Shark 7' ?
There is nothing betetr to learnb something then experiment with it. You can use your Personal Space entry, but if you get it messed up it will still be your introduction whereas just an entry does no harm to be a bit messy

I am writing an entry "traveller in time" it will never be as good as I want it but I am researching and refining currently. I hope to (will) post within the next 2/3 weeks.
This is the afterword where I make excuses about pressure of work etc.

Traveller in Time master in nondisclosure by showing something
"You can already experiment by creating the pre pre draft
This is going to be the introduction and I will extent the words to see if they will wrap
And this is the title of the first paragraph <SMILEY TYPE="biggrin"/>
this is the body of the first paragraph
just some list
next listed item
Just create the entry and start fiddling with it until you are confident with it, it is really not difficult, once you understand it is just a matter of opening and closing the tags in the right sequence .
Will find your work wrapped in t<./>info</.>il. "

Hi shark-7
If the Entry you are currently researching and writing is intended for Peer review and possibly for inclusion in the Edited Guide, you may find this page helpful:
Using Approved GuideML in the Edited Guide ~ A264520
As not all GuideML tags are used in Edited Entries.

Traveller in Time writing many entries
"Well, I have written more entries with only 'unaproved' GuideML then with 'aproved'."

I only meant Entries intended for the Edited Guide TiT, any non approved GuideML tags will distract attention from the content of an Entry to the GuideML use in Peer Review, and if not removed by the author, will be removed by the Sub-editor or the Editors, before it gets to the Front Page, making the process unnecessary longer than it needs to be.
In Entries not intended for the Edited Guide, you can experiment and play as much as you like with the GuideML tags.
