Hi Team,

Regards,
Srini.

Peter, I can edit it in situ, or if you send me the text portion I can correct it and send it back.

Thank you Richard.
I have no problem with that...
If, however, you find something that needs a big change, please notify me...

Hi Peter, for a Hungarian who writes in Hebrew, it was very well put together. I have merely corrected a few spelling and grammar errors, and tried to make the English clear enough for English and non-English readers. I tagged it as "work in progress, do not publish" so you can check it yourself.
I only wish I understood the technical parts.

Thank you very much!

Hi everybody,
I just wrote my first article. (Article ID 1248145, not yet released) I was hoping to help the readers retain some of the key points by putting in questions with "Reveal" to show the answer. It was a really simple script that just toggled a css class with display: none. I used the template and got everything working and tried pasting in the HTML to the article using the 'source' window. That's when I found out that all the scripts get removed.
I downloaded the CSS used from the template and I can see many classes that have the word 'question' in their title. I'm assuming these are for other purposes such as the putting questions and polls in the forums. But I thought I'd ask anyway...
Are there any capabilities for putting any kind of interactivity in articles?
TIA, Mike

I almost forgot to return and post that there is now a way to do this. The good folks added a css class called "spoiler" which has ::before content of (hover to reveal). So scatter questions throughout your article and wrap the answers in a span with class="spoiler" and there we are! It's not what people in eLearning would call truly interactive content but it's a step

Hey Mike
This is a very, very late reply but we do allow Javascript in articles if we post the script ourselves (ie we check the code before it's live)
cheers

Thank you.
Have you also mailed the author or should we leave a message in the forum regarding the missing download?
[EDIT]
Just saw your reply in the B&S forum that you have mailed him.

In this tip we gonna build …
To me, that seems lazy, unprofessional, and potentially confusing to members whose first language isn't English.
It should of course be, "we are going to".
Is it just me who's bothered by lazy writing like this?

:hands up:
Can't stand it either. Mark it as needing attention or, if you have rep, correct it.

I don't think I have access to edit other people's articles. I've flagged it as "format / layout issues", which felt like the closest to "English language issues".

No. It is not just you.
I go directly for "poor quality" when I find something like this.
One thing is to have errors (I am not native english speaker and I know I do have errors continously) but another thing is to be lazy and don't even try to write correctly.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

But that's a "delete this rubbish" vote, rather than a "needs help" vote.
I think this tip's OK; it just needs a gentle massage with a dictionary.

"needs help" (there is no fitting option for "needs gentle massage with dictionary") is just giving more work to CP-Editors.
Nuking the article might have a more durable persuasive feeling, so that the user really checks what he writes next time.
I am not an assh... I usually leave a comment if I think it might bring something to the author.

A few years ago my granddaughter was playing on a Disney website, which allowed you to build characters by dragging various components on the screen. Every so often a question popped up which was always prefixed "Do you wanna ...". I soon blocked that site.

Ah, that would be the "Do you wanna build a snowman?" section. Far better had it said, "Would you care to?"

When I visit my article, I get a banner saying there is an autosaved draft.
Looking at the versions page: [^] I see the published version is 8 and there is a version 9 with not-minor changes.
But if I select the buttons on 8 and 9 and go to Compare, it actually compares 8 and 8, which shows nothing.
How do I find out what changes are pending? Is there something quite non-obvious in how to use the compare page, or is this a bug?

If you hit the button to edit an article and make no changes, it creates a new draft. Looking at the two revisions you mention, there are no changes. To remove the message, I could just publish draft 9 (which is identical to 8) if you would like.
