Grebe Editing Tips

If you need to edit a post, click the "EDIT" link at the top or bottom of the page when viewing the post.

To edit with the "enhanced" view, then click the small "split" link, which is located near the lower right hand corner of the text area box.

Clicking the split link puts you into a better editing/writing area. This enhanced writing area auto-saves every 5 minutes if new content has been added (at least one key has been pressed.)

Within the enhanced writing area, you can either write and preview in split screen mode or you can click the right-facing arrows in the navigation bar to switch to single screen mode. This provides a larger writing screen.

When writing in single screen mode, when you click "preview," the formatted page will also be shown in single screen mode.

To change from previewing in single screen mode back to writing in single screen mode, click the right-facing arrows again.

To get back to split screen mode, click the left-facing arrows.

Click the arrows to play around. Nothing can be harmed.

To save when you want, obviously, click "save."

When moving away from the enhanced writing area, you will get a pop-up message, asking if you want to leave the page. Click "confirm" or whatever the answer is to leave the page. This confirmation pop-up will appear even after you have saved the content.

The confirmation pop-up is a safety feature to ensure that the you saved content before moving away from the article.

The Apple Safari web browser, however, does not support this pop-up confirmation function.

Editor Screenshots

"Editor" may be an inappropriate term to use to describe this browser-based JavaScript tool. I use this enhanced writing mode with my other web apps.

This is the default display. You write in the left pane, and the content can be previewed in the right pane. This is not a live-preview app. You click "preview" to see how the content would be displayed on the website.

Single screen mode for writing.

Single screen mode for previewing a post.
