All good, that is what I tried to do.
I see tha TOC links broke (or where broken already?). I can fix them later.
Thank you for the help.

Hi Chris.
I had to roll back a few versions and put in my changes again. What is needed for me to make the new version "active"? Right now it says "pending"?

High level members are constantly reviewing the Pending list. Once 5 of them approve it it's live. This is usually a quick process.

Hello,
When I try to publish my article, I see this error: "The content is either too short or default."
I don't know why? and What can I do to publish the article.
It's not a short article.
Do not criticise, if you don't have any better idea.

Thanks for the great change Chris!
Is it possible to roll back a change after updating? I mean just in case we find out something went wrong after updating an existing article (due to maybe a bug or malfunctioning).

Absolutely. Hit the Revisions tab, choose the version you wish to use, and hit the Revert button.

Thanks Chris. Is there any possibility to upload the article from a HTML file?

This is something I've toyed with for a few years but never got around to fleshing out.
My idea was to allow you guys to fill in the template, then upload the template and have the submission wizard populated based on the template you uploaded.
Is that what you were thinking?

No. Currently I can get the article HTML for editing offline. I'm wondering how I can upload my offline document into the new Article Submission Wizard.

So even easier: just include the HTML file as one of the uploads and have the HTML appear inside the editor?
There's always simply the option of viewing the HTML in your offline editor, copying it, and pasting it directly into the editor...

Many thanks Chris!
I didn't recognize the button '<>' for the HTML view. The symbol looks like the 'Insert HTML character' within the message editor. It would be more intuitive to label the button with 'HTML'.

Great!
One small suggestion: to distinguish this view command better from the formatting buttons, you may right-align (editors right edge) the 'HTML' button.

One thing (bug?) I noticed was that the preview and the look after "submitted" was not the same.
The preview looked like I expected it too, but the look in the pending version that I only could see after submitting it looked different
example
This is some text in the html view
and for <bold>fun</bold> I make a line break (in the html view only)
This would in the preview look like
"This is some text in the html view and for fun I make a line break (in the html view only"
But in the submitted view it would look like
"This is some text in the html view
and for fun I make a line break (in the html view only"
I.e. the line break, only visible in the html view editor was visible in the "pending article / submitted" view as well.
I got quite confused of this and kept going back to modify the article until I have "corrected" the html view part as well --- just to avoid that it would look horrendous in its final look

I noticed while editing your article that there were line breaks in the text which I corrected. These line breaks were actual HTML line breaks (<br/>), so for instance you had the line
For this reason <br />
it is always better to just do pre increments
which is rendered as:
For this reason
it is always better to just do pre increments
When you say "the preview" do you mean within the WYSIWYG editor, or when you hit the "Preview" button? If the former, then it could be that this line break matched the width of the editor screen so wasn't evident. If the latter then we have a bug!

With "preview" I mean the preview-button. At that time I thought it was very evident. Preview after preview-button was different from the view when the article was pending. ... but hey I did it at 2-ish at night so my mind was mush.
I.e. I think it's a bug, but I wouldn't stake my life on it.

Just checking. Some consider the WYSIWYG a preview; some consider the preview to be what they saw in their offline HTML editor. I'm a cautious man.
A bug then. I will add it to the TODO list.
Thanks again for helping out with answering the endless questions.

Great work by you guys

I've tested both on live and on development and can't replicate the issue. It may have been an earlier bug we've since fixed. A few days ago I did reset the document format on a few articles that had been incorrectly set, and we also updated our rendering code.
In any case, if you see it again just let us know.
BTW - you have a ton of outstanding Draft versions of that article you recently published. Would you like me to clean up the debris for you?

That is great news.

Yes please! I felt guilty over that. I expected a yell-at from whomever was reviewing it.
I was afraid of removing them (if even possible by me?). No doubt they where created because of my frequent and iterative

The alternative article concept is really good , quick question
So who have the authorative to pick it up and what if the original author does not like it.
Curios ?. I am interested in creating some alternative articles of some great authors. But with appreciation i am sure i can expect contradictions as well.

Anyone has the right to make an alternative of any other article.
Go for it!

Few suggestions:
* Provide the tool bar the the bottom of Editor. Mostly, when writing new article, the author would generally be writing at the end of editor. So, when author needs to apply some formatting he/she would need to make toolbar visible and then hit appropriate button. But then, the original text would not be visible. I have 22" monitor, and I write on about 150% of zoom in IE9. But toolbar isn't visible.
* Add more shortcuts, Ctrl+D is good, but what about "Formatted" for code? How to switch between HTML and WYSIWYG?
* Most authors don't know additional formatting, like "div=callout", and instead use "Formatted" instead. The parser would read it as text rather than special comment.
* On code pasting, convert tabs to 3-4 tabs, instead of author doing that manually. Also additional lines would come up when pasting.
