Good heavens, no.
What ever could have given you that idea?

All day, WookieTab has been slow and unresponsive - trying to even open a context menu in Chrome has been impossible as they show up invisible...
First, I suspect the click on k/b. Nope.
Then, I reload video drivers. It works! Sorted.
Nope, half an hour later and it's back to slug mode...
Just about to reload windows (and VS, and SSMS, and Paintshop Pro, and Libre Ofice, and ...) 
Then a quick thought ... what's running? Nothing - I checked earlier ... but ... Task Manager is also running like a stunned slug on mogadons. Hmmmm... what if there is something running, but TM only gets to do anything when it stops?
Startup list has four items:
CleanUpUI
Corel Update Helper
Microsoft Onedrive
Windows Defender notification icon
So...one I don't recognise, and three I don't trust
Disable the top three (after checking and finding CleanUpUI is an EaseUS thing and not a virus).
One restart later and all is fine.
Do I care which it is? Nope. Stuff 'em all!
Hate it when that happens...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Perhaps it was onedrive making backups you didn't ask for

Yes, but microsoft needs it,...
microsoft needs all of everybodies data 'to make windows even better.'
disclaimer: pigs flying overhead are in no way related to microsoft, microsoft windows, or microsoft ceip;
and microsoft has over 20000 lawyers on call to sue your ass should you dare claim otherwise.

This sounds similar to the behavior I experienced recently with Win10, Chrome, etc.
Mine was tied to I/O and I know your wookietab is obviously SSD (or at least some type of non-HDD storage) but still sounds so similar.
Win10 Again (sigh) The Lounge[^]
I moved to an SSD and haven't seen any issues since. But I also uninstalled chrome completely (now using Firefox) and I've been too lazy to try Chrome again.
Good luck.

I have actually to implement a wizard for a very very simple "programming language" which supports something about 1% (rather less) of c language. While reading all this stuff about Parsers and CompilerCompiler (also here on CP) I came to the idea to share all my expirience by writing an article about this.
My Immagination about the article:
- A short description what a Parser is doing (my doubts, that this can be described in short)
- Short explanation how one describes a "language" by EBNF (my doubts, that this can be described in short)
- Explain parsing EBNF to generate "the language" Parser
- "The Target Of The Article": How to use the above parsed EBNF to create a wizard
Because the whole path is something recursive (parsing ebnf to create a parser) I have my doubts wheter all this stuff could/should be explained in only one article. On the other hand, should I prescribe the knowledge about parsing?
How you would structure this?
The easier question:
What do article writer suggest? Should I use the online editor (https://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Submit.aspx, Option 1) or should I do everything offline Option 2?
Thank you for help.

Ummm, I took a side route to all fancy formating stuff. I wrote it up in Word with Pictures made sure it looked legible and went from there to the publishing wizzard. My view was if it can be read with out all fancy stuff it's probably good to go, then use all the auto stuff, just my two pennys worth!

I keep meaning to do it in Word (or at least Libre Office) but ... I still end up with the online editor.
But Word has one big advantage: it has a spell check. The online version doesn't...

Thank you very much.
In case I do it in Word (because you doubt about my spelling  ) what is needed afterwards? Is it more or less simply copy/paste from word to online Editor to publish?

Or just email it to Sean and he'll sort it out.
There is a submission template file you can download and open in Word to use as a basis.
This page shows the d/l and where to send the file: Submit a new Article[^]
I look forward to seeing it!

Dear OG, a shy question:
Is it ok for you if I send you a draft to proofread? I think you are the only one who can understand my strange english.
I'm aware that this is really a big request and so I will understand very well if you decline.

Not a problem: you have my email.
Might take me a day or two to proofread it though!

Wow, thank you very much!
Quote: Might take me a day or two
Two days I need some more days (x10, x20) to be ready, I'm still starting on that.
The whole thing I have to develop in Embarcadero c++ and migrate it then to c# for the article so that someone may read it

While writing on it I think I feel 1:1 what you mean
At the Moment I wish I would have never announced that I will write an article on this. But because I did it, I have to go through it

Take your time. If it's worth doing, it's not worth rushing - and it can help to walk away for a day or more and then re-read what you have written so far.

Only generally in "boring" text boxes: as soon as you start formatting stuff spell check goes out the window.
In fact, even in multiline textboxes, Chrome loses spell check half the time when I paste HTML into a CP box (like this one)

Or two, maybe: The article's still there if a rugrat chews through your Ethernet cable.

Start with everything you want to talk about, put it into an outline of topics/sub-topics.
Start writing either linearly or the parts that you're drawn to first.
As you're writing, update the outline and see how things begin to evolve -- is it getting too long, is there a natural break for a couple articles evolving? Prune stuff that becomes irrelevant or you don't want to deal with.
0x01AA wrote: Should I use the online editor
No - although it's evolved a lot, like being able to save drafts, I find online editing of anything to be a PITA, with the exception of lounge posts, haha. I'm an old fart, so believe it or not, I'm still using FrontPage 2003 for editing. Find a decent HTML editor (harder than it looks, maybe someone can make some recommendations here) that can let you do a split screen of the markup and the WYSIWYG. Write it all offline.
Hint to save you pain: images go in the same folder as wherever your "article.html" is, as image references in CP are now (and have been for quite a while, but it was not always so) "local".
Other hints:
- Main topic headers are H2
- Use bold and italic sparingly
- variable names, methods, etc., in the text should be wrapped with code tags
- code blocks are wrapped in pre tags
- watch your image size, CP likes images no bigger than, um, 600 width (I think) which I violate constantly. One cool technique for really big images is to put upload both a small and a 100% image, and add a link to the 100% image, like "click here for full size image."
- Personally, I like small code blocks. Don't throw a 500 line class at me, break it into individual method code blocks, in between explain what each method does and why (why is sooo important), etc.
More hints: A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project
Something I've seen people start doing which I really like is a section at the top of the article on "what you will learn", which is cool, because even if I have no interest in a C-like <1% parser, I might be really interested in how EBNF works and other cool geeky things you are covering.
