    I got a message from somebody who said he tried to but couldn’t edit an nLab entry with Firefox due to a plugin not working.

    He writes:

    I’m using Firefox, so the math formulas are ok. For editing, I just followed the instructions on the front page: it suggests to download a plugin – It’s All Text!, which I did; then I was supposed to pick an editor (I chose WinEdt), after which, according to the instructions, I was supposed to just highlight an area of text I wanted to edit, right-click and choose “it’s alltext”. I did that, but the option wasn’t there.

    Does anyone have any experience with this? I never used this plugin.

    I was supposed to just highlight an area of text I wanted to edit, right-click and choose “it’s alltext”.

    I’ve used this plugin for ages, and it works great, but not like this. It lets you load the text in a HTML textarea (like the one I’m typing in now) into an external editor like Emacs, and updates the text when you save the file. So your friend still has to click the Edit link at the bottom of the nLab page he wants to edit. Then he can use the plugin or just the edit box in the browser to edit the page.

    I never used this plugin.

    I couldn’t live without it myself. If you’re used to writing LaTeX in Emacs it’s a godsend.

    Ditto what Finn said. Where do the instructions say to highlight an area of text?

  4. Hi everyone! I was the "somebody". Thanks for the tips, I didn't notice the Edit button before :) Still don't know how to use the plugin though, the instructions that say to highlight the text are in the plugin's readme file. But that's okay, I can do without it, apparently.

    One thing that is worth pointing out is that you don’t have to use this plugin for editing nLab pages. You can just use your browser as usual. It’s just that some of us find the extended abilities of using, say, Emacs to edit nLab pages so useful that we use this plugin to enable us to do that. I don’t use it when just doing a small correction, or when creating a short page, for example.

  6. got it, thanks!
