An excellent stance, which I appreciate. > I absolutely agree with your comments about data migration. Making > content that was perfectly fine into something that isn't is well... > bad. On the off-chance that I'd end up moving it, I grabbed my original plain-text format version (before I added the wiki markup for posting to lopsa.org) and redid things using HTML, pulling in the typo fixes and adding [ed: comments] where truly needed. While talking with Matt Okeson-Harlow on Google+, I realised that I could have another go at updating the lopsa content, but with this. It took a couple of attempts to get it to stop telling me to contact an administrator to deal with errors, but then it "took", and this time saving did not lose text (that I can tell). A little editing later, to fix some tags it didn't like, and switch <div></div> to <p></p> to get layout working, and it appears that https://lopsa.org/SSLIntro is once more readable. Well, legible. Readable is a matter of debate. My writing style still isn't great, and I *really* had not learnt to edit down and throw away text-already-written when I wrote that. FWIW: the "Edit with Emacs" extension for Chrome (or "It's All Text!" for Firefox) as essential for doing any editing in web-pages. They let you take any textarea box and edit the content in an external text editor, feeding the changes back in when you save. It only takes a little light editing to get the EwE "pycl.py" file working with MacVim and then turn it into a LaunchAgent plist to be started at login on a Mac. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
