Everything as it was before worked fine for you. Not for me. :-) I was working on them all on my own -- and that is not how open source is supposed to work.
We're in Apache now, which means you get involved -- you don't say "I do not know where and how to fill an issue", instead you say: "Where do I go and how do I fill out an issue?" And that is here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/NETBEANS-5397?filter=allopenissues Also, all the tutorials are now on GitHub. Including the one you're referring to: https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/blob/master/netbeans.apache.org/src/content/tutorials/nbm-xmleditor.asciidoc I've already fixed the broken code via this pull request, as a result of your mail: https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/pull/532 Nothing here is "rather disappointing" -- everything is in progress, including the tutorials. The big difference now is that you're in a project where you're no longer a consumer, you're a contributor. Yes, the tutorials have been transferred from HTML to Asciidoc on GitHub and the process is far from complete. Your mail has motivated me to commit to working on one of the NetBeans Platform tutorials per day, it will take a while to get everything up to scratch -- and a simple copy and paste of the tutorials would not have done the trick, since the old ones were HTML and the new ones are Asciidoc on GitHub -- so that you can now contribute too.
