I have seen the helpers and tools available to write a CP article,
but wouldn't it be very useful to have a page where you could actually
build the article direclty in CP? Is that too difficult to achieve?

It's generally much easier to download the article template and build it locally. This is especially true for articles that take days, weeks or even months to complete. Some of us are mere mortals and cannot write an article in half an hour.

If it takes longer than half an hour, I don't want to know - that's why my articles are of such a low quality. Big Grin | :-D

If this[^] is low quality, then goodness knows what my attempts will be classed as.

Thanks. The trouble is - I've read a lot of articles by the likes of Sacha, Dan Vaughan, Roman Kiss, Josh Smith and Marc, and they outstrip mine by huge amounts.

Of course it is, that's why they have this[^] page. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

If you have an old Office CD lying around, you might want to use Frontpage (the 2003 version was the last one). When I helped edit CP articles as a volunteer editor, I heavily used Frontpage (and no, it does not add unwanted HTML fluff as is popularly believed).

I write mine in Notepad++ and pinch the CP css file so I can see what it will look like. I also abuse Sarah and get her to proof read everything and run the text sections through an online spell checker just in case.

I added the following comment to this question:

I wrote:
FYI, I changed the title of your question. In the future, choose more descriptive titles than "Help Please".

However, the text got mangled by the hamsters and this is what ended up displaying:

CP wrote:

I liked my quotes better. Frown | :(

Really? We were hoping to start a trend in new quote usage.

I get this validation error when attempting to click the "Accept Alternate" button on my tip/trick at:

http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/92463/Find-a-Parent-Control-Recursively.aspx[^]

<p class="error" id="AcceptError" style="display: block;">An error occurred while attempting to accept this answer. Please try again later.</p>

I followed the instructions and tried again later, but to no avail.

Pre tag not working?

I edited THIS[^] question to try to make some sence out of it and added pre tags around the code.

But it doesn't format the code, simply prints out the tags...

Wonder why it does that?

There is an "Ignore HTML..." checkbox underneath the edit box; maybe that was checked. Can't tell for sure as Pete has stepped in, and all looks fine now.
