Thanks guys. I figured everything out, and finished it. Sometimes I call out for support before I've explored everything that I should. I have my email set for plain text only, so that's what happened. Bryce suggested a proofread by Maren. If you don't want to, I'll do another proof myself, then go ahead and publish.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] news editing
Yes, definitely. Copying directly from an email breaks it, if the email client has support for some kind of (html) formatting (happened with the other unpublished article, too, when Martin copied from his email client...). Anything that is copied into the website into a field that uses some kind of formatting with an extra editor (WYSIWYG), needs to be copied from a pure text handling instance, like notepad, kate, gedit, or even the search or address bar in the browser (that's usually the fastest way to remove formatting), unless you *want* monospace fonts, or a text that is difficult to edit ;-) Maren Am 17.02.2017 um 06:10 schrieb Martin Owens: > Hi Brynn, > > Not sure why that's going wrong for you. > > Pop the editor into HTML mode and check the code directly.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] news editing
Hi Brynn, Not sure why that's going wrong for you. Pop the editor into HTML mode and check the code directly. Maybe the paste caused some weird tags that's confusing the editor.

Nevermind. I think it was something about copying out of the email. But I've got it all reformatted now.
