Editing documentation.

[silverflight8]

Mainly to avoid spamming denise on dw_docs. Things got more organized the more I typed. THINGS ARE LINKED LIKE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE WILDLY OUT OF HAND.


-what is an interaction menu? removed from all FAQs; more confusing than helpful.

-add "and" to age restrict FAQ: "...Discretion", "Is suitable..."

-extra tag in restriction filters FAQ (twice)

-(viewer discretion advised) etc labels look like page breaks instead of example

-expand on last sentence, restriction FAQ

-choosing user icon FAQ: what "view thumbnails"?

-wrt to different methods of doing x, check site schemes access method

-"If the entry security level is "private", nobody can see it or any of its comments but you." should be no comments (unless they're yours) on a private entry

-super-confusing for me when I tried first to link to other sites; didn't process that <user> is like <a> (a href="" alt="" title="", etc) clarify? (too much HTML knowledge?) rework writing?

-link to other users: using RTE, highlight "Account" - add image?

-cut FAQ: hiding spoilers ineffective because linking direct to entry will bring up everything anyway; only effective for scroll-by, get rid of example?

-client FAQ: miscategorization? tangentially related to entries, anyway.

-private entries FAQ: not sure about future one - post at reg. security, edit to less-secure later - check tomorrow

-private entries FAQ: is it possible to make all private at once, or like LJ's one security level -> another? for posterity: apparently yes. Although I do not have a paid/prem account so can't check.

-private entries FAQ: mention that it's possible to do by hand, downloadable clients? (clients - DW nomenclature?)

-RTE/HTML editor FAQ: should come earlier?

-Crossposting FAQ: remove Inksome ETA: Ask for suggestions in dw-docs.

-HTML allowed FAQ: what about <iframe>? or hold off until Youtube thing is solved? ETA: nevermind, SOLVED.

-HTML allowed FAQ: insert warning - external web service, please be wary, not DW, etc?

-DOOO FAQ: add mention of how to make sticky post

-Poll FAQ: (poll does not look like a word anymore) HTML formatting tags for this? (same as LJ?)

Would it be okay to put the link in the phrase "switching between the two editors" and then have the alt text be something like "Title of FAQ"?

Re: How do I post an entry?

[denise]

Oh, sure. You don't even have to use the alt text there (most screenreaders won't read it), just as long as the link text is something meaningful describing what you're heading towards, you're good. "Switching between the two editors" would work just fine as link text.

OK, good. :)
