I am trying very hard to improve the manual pages concerning project planning and the Gantt view. I also decided to be "good", and not to follow my normal instinct, which is to rip the text out of the InfoQube forum, edit it in Microsoft Word – which is a good and powerful editor – and then try and put it back into InfoQube. Every time I do that, I get accused of creating bad HTML for reasons which I don't understand and which the forum editor paste from Microsoft Word button ought to handle.
So I am trying to use the editor on the forum website (built long ago using an ancient version of Drupal now out of support) and I find it an incredibly frustrating experience. For example, I cannot find the equivalent of a ribbon and therefore I cannot adjust the margins of the text which I'm creating. Every time I want to paste an image or a URL, I have to remember specific tricks. There is no format painter, which makes most of my tasks much longer.
The basic design of the forum website, based as it is on a Drupal template designed by Dr. Radut, is very good. Unfortunately, I cannot find any recent version of that Drupal template and I suspect that moving the website forward to a more recent version of Drupal might therefore be quite a lot of work. But please, Pierre could you consider moving to a more recent editor or version of the editor, one which makes life easier for people who are themselves trying to be helpful? I have a feeling this is becoming more and more of an urgent issue, because the manual is not keeping pace with the product. This forces us all to make more and more use of the forum as a place to document facilities and to find documentation – which contributes to frustration with the product.
