Hi Henry, Must confess I always just used the HTML. Seemed a lot easier to get working and since most in-depth information is delegated to the wiki, I thought we could live without too much CMS infrastructure to begin with. A bit silly reasoning maybe, feel free to punk me for it :-) Or maybe remake it into a CMS template we can edit thru mdtext.
