While it's best to not use WYSIWYG mode, you do retain the option of using it .
If want this option because you're unfamiliar with HTML or prefer the convenience of writing without adding in HTML tags, then I recommend using Markdown. This translates common text conventions into appropriate HTML at display time, and it allows you to add HTML if you wish. In a test I ran, I was even able to include code for an Interactive Diagram and have it display properly while using the Markdown format.
If you want a convenient preview, I just added a new Preview button to the form for editing your page. Click on this to get a preview of your current edits in a new tab or window. Unlike the preview that WYSIWYG mode could give you, this preview will actually match how your page will look, and it will not alter your HTML. It should prove to be a great way to regularly preview your edits without saving a bunch of revisions.
I want the option because trying to write sentences longer than a few words with any sort of coding on the screen plays havoc on my aging, autistic, perennially sleep-deprived brain. Among other things, I've been a writer of other things (plays, novels, etc.) for so long that by the time I'm done with a paragraph of this length I'll be close to forgetting that I'm not in WYSIWIG.
The Preview button is a great thing (to say the least), but I'll still have a problem with no Source button.
I found out how to make the Source button safer, then restored it. Much of its rewriting of code was due to the Advanced Content Filter, which I turned off. However, it will still replace & with &, which can be a problem for query strings in URLs. At least fen2.php is robust enough to interpret & as &, which means it doesn't break your use of this script on this page.
Well, this is the one page that I only ever edit in HTML mode (which is why I was so bewildered by the glitch that started this mess). Where I have things like Interactive Diagrams, I'm happy to enter in HTML mode, then press the Source button (to turn it off) and edit that section in WYSIWIG mode without disturbing the ID. It's just one extra click, nice and simple, and it keeps the chainsaw out of the beehive.
@Fergus:
As I've now found a total of four icons (including the Elephantrider) that I hadn't included in the HTML, I think it might serve well to copy it over as soon as you have a couple of minutes. (Both the Pieces and Notes sections are updated.)
@Fergus:
I have a new set of icons for unzipping, as well as new HTML for this page.
Okay, I unzipped your images and copied over your HTML.
Thank you again! :)
Are you sure you got the HTML copied? I'm not seeing the changes, even when I paste the URL into a fresh browser.
Since the timestamp on the file was from last month, I did it again. This time the timestamp changed to today.
And it all looks correct now. Thanks again! :)
Edit: Argh! I spoke too soon! An error on my part made a Hat that should have been Top Hat, which would move that icon down to between the Sniff and the Troll. I'm not sure whether it'd be easier for you to fix that manually or copy the HTML again, but either way you have my apology for that.
@Fergus: ICYMI: I did have an error (entirely my own fault) in labeling the Top Hat as simply Hat, meaning I had to both rename and move it. It's fixed on this page now; I'm not sure whether it'd be easier for you to fix it manually or copy the HTML again, but either way you have my apologies and thanks.
It was still in my text editor. So I made the change there and uploaded it.
You only changed the label, not the piece name (from what.svg to wtophat.svg) nor its position (between Sniff and Troll).
@Fergus: I just uploaded a corrected High Priestess icon.
Also, please note the still-existing problems with the Top Hat (the filename in the HTML, and its location, both need to be changed).
You only changed the label, not the piece name (from what.svg to wtophat.svg) nor its position (between Sniff and Troll).
Okay, I did the other things.
I just uploaded a corrected High Priestess icon.
I just moved it over.
@Fergus:
I just uploaded some new icons, and the HTML to go with it (as well as adding yet another icon that I'd already uploaded, but forgot to include in the list!).
Okay, I unzipped your images and updated the page.
Thanks again! :)
Edit: Oops! I made a mistake in one of the listings. The HTML will need to be copied again.
Sorry about that.
Edit #2: ...and now, as I start using some of these, I see that I used the wrong White fill color. So, I'll have to fix those and re-upload the Zip. :(
OK, now I've uploaded a corrected* version of the icons, at the same link as before.
*At least, I hope I got it correct. I hope so very much. We shall soon see.
I changed your page to this:
<!--#include virtual="/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSbobgreenwadessvglibrary" -->
So now whatever changes you make here will automatically show up at
Okay, it's unzipped.
OK, excellent! That, at least, will save bothering you unless I have new icons. :)

You might as well be telling me to stop contributing at all.
As an experiment of my own, I opened a different page in HTML, then clicked the "Source" button on some of the sections. That actually works almost as well as what I was asking for, and better than the "copy the source code" I've been doing. So, please just leave it alone.
