Initial snetnce only more brief. numbered list

Various words given styles using buttons from the edit toolbar.

Create a 3 column 3 row table using the toolbar link: after table inserted this is where the cursor rests. Now using clr to get text continuing below table.#Note: after typing each heading the TAB key was pressed but no visible effect noticed.

Previewing table to see if tha causes clr to take effect.

Using source editor for notes

 * 1) The problem with the table rendering is that the the "|-" row delimiter tha tshould have followed the 3 column headings was never inserted.
 * 2) Also the Table tile marker "|+" is inserted at a very unusual place

Returning to RTE
OK, recalling the steps taken past time I recall that I used the the edit toolbar to enter the T template wheras this time I used wikitext typed directly into the RTE.

Testing the Template tool nowclrOK so puzzle sprite appears but no break visible yet. (I assume I need to preview for that to take effect.)

Still no break so used newlines to advance to this line.


 * Just noticing that my earlier insertion of {t|clr} also appears as a puzzle in RTE (that's going to take some getting used to)
 * I just remembered that I started a numbered list before the table where I intended to collect summary notes.
 * Save before proceeding.

Redo table

 * 1) numbered list
 * 2) started ahead
 * 3) of table creation
 * {| align="left" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" style="height: 100px; width: 200px;" summary="meaningless summary"
 * +I may have entered a pixel height the last time
 * head1
 * head2
 * head3
 * abc
 * 123
 * xyz
 * pqrs
 * 765
 * uvwx
 * }
 * 1) It's still a mystery as to how to prevent text from wrapping around a table.
 * 2) The numbered list is bleeding over the top of the table in the RTE edit window.
 * 3) Ah yes - I did tweak the various handles (circles and triangular arrows) that adjust row height and width the last time
 * 4) Will save before attempting that now.

Redo 2 table
I probably created a table as an item in the numbered list instead of finishing the list first. So redoing it here.
 * 1) numbered list
 * 2) started again
 * 3) finish list here

This table insertion is badly bugged. (Saving a screen shot of how it looks in the RTE window. But none of it is causing the stange pseudo-html tags that were observed the first time around.

I think that table creation is not the cause of that more corruption.

However it is possible that some combination of the error made in the previous section and something else leads to the unrecognizable table HTML

Proceed with creating links
Various attmpts to create a link to w:c:central
 * w:c:central - the string type first and the link button used on teh highlighted text - ok so it appears red but that's a known bug per Kirkburn
 * w:c:central - toolbar link button pressed first and string entered into intenal link input box - ok so once again it's red - known bug, move on
 * 1) http://central.wikia.com - toolbar link button pressed first and string entered into extenal link input box - no problem inserting but external link sprite appears when in fact this is an interwiki link
 * 2) It seems that the creation of links has gone much more smoothly this second time around. I distinctly remember text after the link turning red just like the redlink.
 * 3) w:c:central this time I left the line blank after the link insertion point and lo and behold the red text effect is reproduced (screen shot saved)
 * 4) the red text clears up after a newline (screenshot saved)

OK, time for another page save.


 * Returned from page save
 * Note how the internal link was not terminated when a space character was typed after creating the link. The effect is that the entire line became a hyperlink.


 * A newline did terminate the hyperllink.


 * Just rememebred
 * I forgot to tweak the table dimensions using the handles provided in the RTE.

This line better be below the table.

OK, so it is bleow the table when rendered but not in the RTE window. Use newlines instead.

first

second

third

fourth

got here!

Time for another page save to see if the underlying wikitext is corrupted by the tweaking of table dimensions.

Returned from save
Continuing with retracing original steps picking up from test of Ctrl+I Ctrl+B ctrl+U on words in a sentence.

OK so I deviated a little from the original sequence because I have already tested inserting links.

Testing the use of a link from the edittools MW message displayed mear the footer.

This block of text should be a block quote if all goes well.

OK, so no evidence of that blockquote having been inserted. Lets save and see if any damage was done to the Wikitext.


 * Back after save
 * Inspecting Wikitext shows no corruption. (and also no sign of a pair of blockquote tags having been inserted.)

Note to self. An alternative method for clearing raw Wikitext from teh RTE input window is to toggle from RTE to Source and then back to RTE again. This seems to cause any WIkitext typed manually to "render" correctly in the RTE window.

Time to us the signature tool.

-- najevi 16:41, December 11, 2009 (UTC) Ok the good old tildes are produced.

Time for an image
I tought i taw a puddy tat here somewhere ...



Text should appear below image on right because clr was just used.

All is good so far. Preview of image is as expected.

Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y tested OK

Ahh- hah. I do remember accidentally using Ctrl+S when testing Italics, Bold and Underline the first time around. I wonder if that has any bad ramifications.

Will save now before "accidentally" using it again here.


 * Back after a save: and testing accidental use of Ctrl+S. � No evidence of any problems from that.

Well that's it
I have not been able to reproduce the injection of the bizarre psuedo-html tags and the only two problems with tables has to do with "|-" and "|+" WIkitext.

Sorry Kirkburn, I tried but not able to reproduce all of the problems.
