hello!

i started this new page so i could experiment a bit, i hope it's ok.

i see we have some nice editing buttons, including one for bold and another for italic. it would be better if those worked as we expected, and modified the selected text in the edit-field itself, rather than requiring the writer to jump through some hoops, but i guess as reminders they're better than nothing.

in general, i think "wiki markup" is the type of system that would give the _easy_editing_capability_ described on this "wiki as e-books" page as your fundamental goal.

but i believe that "wiki markup" is still too complicated...

i'll write more on this later, but for now, let's make sure this page works correctly, and doesn't screw things up...

I found that if I type some text and then click the B button now Bold text appears in the text. So I could use the B button and then remove the text that says Bold text and put some other text in its place, as now some other characters.

However, if I type directly and then click before the d of directly, then hold down the shift key of the keyboard and use the right arrow key eight times so as to highlight the word directly and then release the shift key and then click the B, the formatting is added around the highlighted text and the words Bold text do not appear.

I am trying to restructure the Other Ideas page.

At its edit a few days ago three lines, one blank, were added at the start and a lot of text was clipped from the end, clipping starting from within a word.

I suspect that this was because the page went over 32 kilobytes.

I am now going to try to split the Other Ideas page into two pages, namely Other Ideas and a new Rollout and Community Building page, while retaining the three line addition of a few days ago.

I am not entirely sure how to do it at present, so please help out if it goes wrong!

To begin, the three lines added the other day are preserved here in the sandbox for later use.

The changes have now been made. In the event I did not need to recover the new message from the storage space above.

Along the way I generated the page Rollout and Community Building and later realized that it should have been Rollout and Community Building Ideas, so the Rollout and Community Building page is surplus and may get deleted, unless it becomes used as an official policy page.

So, the desired result has been obtained, though with a hiccup along the way!
