I tried yet again to get emacs-w3m to work as described above. I edited. It didn’t work. I edited the page with Safari. It worked. Then I followed the instructions again in emacs-w3m. The Safari edit did not show up in the compose edit box, even though the page did show it. Therefore, the text that the user edits is not the same as the text that is shown. Is this a cache issue? Thanks.
I don’t think I’ve ever run into this. Anybody else? – AlexSchroeder
I just edited and saved a reply someone posted at DrewsElispLibraries. I refrefreshed RecentChanges (with rollbacks and minor changes included), but my edit does not appear. That wiki page is listed, but still at the time and user of the previous edit. However, after clicking List only major changes it was listed. I had previously cleared my cache, so I don’t think that was the problem. I’m guessing it was a cache problem nevertheless, but thought I’d mention it, in case it’s not. – DrewAdams
Is this documented somewhere?
Use-case: putting a category-tag like CategoryNeedsAttention into a header, without actually invoking it.
Interestingly, the markup in this particular header renders properly in the TOC
Markup cannot be nested by default. Very few markup elements can in fact be nested. This is not documented anywhere, I think. Common sense stuff like list items and inline markup can be nested (bold list items, for example). Emphasis markup using apostrophes is the only inline markup that can be nested: ''italic '''bold''' and italic'' → italic bold and italic. – AlexSchroeder
The irony being that markup in headers is rendered in the (javascript-built) TOC – MichaelPaulukonis

Yes, there is no recursive parsing of the link text. – Alex
It looks like usemod dot com domain has expired. Some of the MeatBall links now end up on spam sites eg: AppropriateMedia
