In the 17 tips that I manually imported, I decided to experiment with
something I mentioned here a while ago.

Currently tips generally are like this:
  {{Tip
  |id=<number>
  ...
  |text=
  <body>
  }}
  ==Comments==
  <comments>

That means <body> is an argument in a template, with the consequence that
certain characters in <body> will damage the display of the tip. Ugly
kludges using <nowiki>...</nowiki> or {{!}} are required. And the characters
that may cause damage aren't well defined. Putting a table in <body> becomes
a nightmare.

I can't see any advantage to having <body> as an argument (and no one
offered one when I asked), so I've started doing this:
  {{Tip
  |id=<number>
  ...
  |text=
  }}
  <blank line> (need this to get correct spacing before <body>
  <body>
  ==Comments==
  <comments>

Let me know if anyone objects.

John
