Found 'em. Meficat's, right? Deleting now.

I have no idea why it's so crappy about that. I wrote code to handle it, and it works elsewhere!

I have an idea, how about we have dictionaries setup so that new entries are via typing in the word and definition at the top in in two text bars (which are entered without changing the page to do a "are you sure" check), with of course possibility for meaning expasion and the new entry for adding complex definitions and dictions immediately.

Also, is there gonna be graphical editing for tables?

The in-place word addition sounds nice; once the new Notes system is implemented that should be easy.

While graphical editors are popular, they are an immense amount of work to implement and maintain, especially for markup languages other than native HTML. I recommend getting a basic HTML editor (such as Mozilla Composer) and then search-replacing angle and square brackets.

The reason I wanted graphical editing was to save time typing tables over and over. Is this gonna help. I'm not techie so I wouldn't know. Also, is it Mac compatable?

Think of graphical editors as a super-sweet car that runs fast and smooth but has horrible gas mileage and breaks down badly every week or two. Follow Sam's advice, it's not too hard to learn to use those (and learning at least the basics of html will serve you well on the internet).

And stop thinking Macs are special. They're not and haven't been for well over a decade (and they weren't in anything like the way you're thinking before that, either). Everything that's told you they are is product branding from Apple, or the result of that.

Why would you type tables "over and over"? You have a clipboard for that.

Hey. Not everyone knows how computers work. I don't learn via snarking.

it's the thing where things go when you have them copied or cut.

Macs are so intuitive, you don't even know you're using a "clipboard"~

I never said Macs were special, I treat them differently because a lot of stuff doesn't run on them.

It's not a joke, it's the image you put forward.

Do you want to be taken seriously? The first step is migrating to some more serious operating system. Like Arch Linux.

I'm pretty sure Pole wasn't around for that…

(I would also like to point out that Zontas is talking about  money for getting his own computer, not paying for Arch )
