Help for the new help file

[SlowThinker]

Now I think the best way for you (and for me, i cannot edit Info: dips-spies because Post1 is too long) is to start a new thread, to split your original html into 2 parts (150k is the size limit for an attachement) and send them as attachements with posts (for example with 2nd and 3rd post: their body might contain a very brief table of contents of the attached file).
Be careful, you cannot add an attachement to an existing post (you can modify an existing one only): make a reserve empty 4th post with an empty attachement (probably empty must be at least 1 character long) for the future use.

Edit:

You have to use html.

Warning! I found out that a html file isn't allowed as an attachment. I asked MarkG to allow html. Please wait...

When I post my original document, I'm going to have to include the graphics in their own folder. This means zipping the HTML file and the folder together, then posting the whole thing as a .zip file, which I know works with the attachments here on the forum. But I think I'll wait to see if any more obvious objections to the text show up, before I post an uneditable attachment.

An attachment IS editable: you may change the attachment if you edit a post with existing attachment. But you cannot add an attachment to a post that has not an attachment yet.

Gastrifidis,
I started a new Info: diplomats and spies" thread.
I placed the text on a free web server. I think it is a best solution (if I want edit the text then I change the file and upload it). I can register you there, if you want. That server has one advantage: no advertisments, but service pages are in czech language. But I think you wouldn't need them or you would ask me. Or you can ask somebody (Scouse Gits?) about some good english server.

I would probably be more comfortable with Czech than with HTML. The attachment has been added; I even found a program that eliminates Word goofiness from HTML! Hooray! I suppose I could post it independently and start new; I'd like to see how many pieces it has to be chopped into first.

BTW, where is the new Dip/Spy file?

In Civ Strategy. There is a link in my last post here.

I have asked MarkG to allow html files as attachments...

I have the graphics up on the file now, but there's a problem. When I named the site with the "text only" tag, I was under the impression that I could change it later. Apparently, changing the title of the first topic doesn't actually change the name in the topic list, though. I could just redo the entire topic, but that shouldn't be necessary. Is there anyone in an administrative capacity I can ask to rename the topic? Removing the "(text only)" part should be all that's necessary.

I think Ming will rename the thread.

Gastrifidis, did you post a PM to Ming?
