How do we bookmark a particular answer in Q&A?
For sometime now, I have been bookmarking the whole question to keep a note of it.

Am I missing the place/icon for it or the functionality itself is missing?

I am sure, I am not missing it out! Smile | :)

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:

vi and a hex editor to knock the images together.

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.
