h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Mike,
I randomly came upon your Personal Space, and decided to say hi

Then, I read it, and decided to offer my help with the GuideML stuff, or the editing process or whatever. I do Sub-editing, so I'm /supposed/ to know about things like that

Oh, and UserDetails?unregcmd=yes might help you get the password to your old account.

Robert

Or maybe even <./>UserDetails?unregcmd=yes</.>

Ooh, cool!

That's very kind of you.

To be honest, I've sort of moved on from my old account, new me, new account, that sort of thing. I tried getting the password back, but seeing as I couldn't remember my UserID, ResearcherID or anything I was a bit stuck. That'll teach me to try and be clever!

Now then. GuideML. I think you might be able to help me with something. I'm not sure, but I think I've seen somewhere around someone who's done strikethrough text (with a line through - I think that's what it's called). Only trouble is, I can't remember where I saw it and I can't find much about it on the help pages.... Any ideas?

And, while you're here, have you looked at my entry on tents? I knocked it out (if that's the right phrase...) in about half an hour, so I'd be interested in a professional view of it.

Anyway, cheers for dropping in!

Seeya,

Mike

I'm on my seventh account. I know what you mean .

I've seen strikethrough (or out, or whatever it is. I forget as well) somewhere as well. I'll go look for it. It's a HTML thing rather than a GuideML thing, so it isn't in the help pages.

I'll take a look

Robert

My HTML reference thing says it's , and that it's called strikethrough text

I'm looking at your entry now...

OK, I'll start with the GuideML things, because they're nice and simple:

* Change to . ALIGN="LEFT" isn't needed, cause it's the default.

* s split up documents. s split up parts of blocks. In other words, use s for the 'Step...' headers.

* Take POPUP=1 out of the tag. Again, not needed.

* Take the tags out of 'Step One''s bulleted list. It's a House Style thing ...

* At the very end of the article, remove the and put 'Happy Camping!' inside tags.

Apart from that, it's great . I'll go take a look at the words now

'Most of my experience'

Change to third person - something nice and formal (and stupid, but that's life...) like 'Most of this author's experience'. Or, just change to 'This entry focuses on the Stormahven variety, although most...'

'The main tent.This will be the...'
Should be something like:
'The Main Tent: This will be the...'

Rather gratuitous use of the word 'erection': leave it in

That's about it . There're a few small things (spelling, grammer, etc) in there, but you'll easily get this entry though Peer Review!
