Text Editors. Suggesting & Tracking Changes to Plain-Text Documents Since text files, by definition, don't use styling, the choices boil down to explicit tagging/markup ("NEW:.../ENDNEW" etc) or diff. Diff is built into any source-control system worth using, or you can do the low-tech version of saving multiple versions. I don't think there's a magic bullet or standard. Good luck! |

How can I help a writing-phobic but competent student develop their writing? Do you know if the student has the same anxiety about being judged when giving a verbal presentation? |

What's the correct vocabulary for a web application tutorial? "Select" also means to "identify" some blob of content (text on a page, files in a file browser, etc), usually as a precursor to a cut, copy, or delete operation. So I definitely wouldn't use that with a link; if I "select" a link I probably want to saves its URL to the clipboard, not to click. |

How do you build good per-book *and* global indexes? @XORGate, on size, imagine a doc set that would be 1500+ pages if you printed it (though most don't), not counting raw API docs (e.g. Javadoc). |

How well would this beginning sell the book to readers? Not necessarily for money On the writing, the first thing that jumped out at me was word choices, like "to joy" (did you mean "enjoy"?) and "in suits" near the beginning of the second layer. I tripped on "have a good, new and old story" -- not sure what you meant. I also tripped on "threatening her eyes teary" -- felt like there was a word missing, maybe. Stuff like that. Does that help? I know that English is maddenly hard to get the fine details of, and again I applaud you for getting this far. |
