Good stuff. We'll see if people pick up on the issues. I suspect any editor issues that might be there have been there a long time... but they aren't issues if no one experiences them...

Sure,

I wasn't really panicking, well maybe just a little...

As far as I'm concerned the textDrawing model works as well as it's going to just now. The HTML4 stuff might seem like a bit pointless but at least it will render the path down the mountain in the data560.xml (in case that is still going to be used as a demo) in IE and the HTML5 stuff will take precedent in the other browsers. I'll have to speak to Fay about IE because just now IE8 document compatibility is forced which means that IE9 HTML5 supported tags can't be used even if the user has IE9. It's probably best to leave it that way just now but plan to support IE9/10 in the future.

[large friendly letters] Don't panic.

I'll have a look. It was always going to be quite a lot of code, it's at least double that in the flash. I'll test the editor and see if I can replicate the lines dropping. We can add it in to a later release, it's not a problem if the stuff we put out there before Christmas isn't complete,

Hi all,

Just testing this and the problem that I reported with the Jisc XOT install is now in trunk. Can anyone else see it?

When you create a new textDrawing page and edit it the add image button doesn't work. Can't remember who it was that fixed it on the Jisc install but if you read this and can fix the trunk then i'd be very grateful!!

I'm struggling to get the textDrawing finished for the release - keep finding little errors and now that I can't create any with images i'm beginning to panic!! textDrawing is currently running to 700 lines!!
