[FM Discuss] FLOSS Manuals site interface problem?

[Anne Gentle]

Hi Jennifer -
Thanks for RTFMing while you go! I believe that the sidebar changes based on
your permissions. You probably can't edit the wikitext of the actual wiki
pages that build the book pages and so on due to permissions.

It sounds like you're editing merrily, but you want more code less WYG. If
you want to edit source code (HTML), click the "Toggle HTML Source" button
(seventh from the left) in the editor.

The purpose of the "Initializing transmission" area is to connect to the IRC
channel but apparently it's not working right now. Usually it's a way for
all logged in writers to talk to each other via a chat window.

Hope this helps -
Anne
