Just look for wiki macro language but let me give you an example

### this is a header


* list item 1
* list item 2
* list item 3

[link to new page]



If you saved the above it would make a page with a header and a list with
three items and a link to a blank page.  Then you could hit enter on that
page and make changes to it. You can make a page like blind programming so
fast its not funny.   You can also use real html in the edit boxes but you
don't need to.

I don't understand why we don't get a droople page set up.  If people are
interested I will talk to APH about hosting a true droople site for blind
programmers. I would end up being the one choosing editors so I could let
any number of you guys edit the page.  It would be done with the simple
wiki
language and would be easy to use.

What do you all think?

alright, sounds great, as I said in my post, I would do the work, but my
time is getting squeezed out of existence, adding one page link will be no
trouble, its the maintenance and such that would wring me out.

I'll send you a blanked body page so all the color and other stuff matches
the site, and you just fill in the body, I usually use H2 headers for a
section like changing from the C section to the C++ one, and h3 for sub
divisions within a section myself, but as long as it's navagateable its
great.

Hello, Elf,

I would be willing to write the page.  I can send it to you and you
could link it to your site.  I don't have website hosting at the
moment or I'd do it.  It would make much more sense to place it in a
frequented site like yours or the blind developers' site though.

Could structure it by giving each language a heading with links to the
corresponding tutorials in an unordered list.  Make it quick to
navigate that way.  Would also make sense to link any editors, ide's
and compilers within it as well so it's a one-stop experience.  I
think this would make for a flexible format because if someone wants
to let us know about a link to tutorials for a language we don't have,
all we have to do is add a heading for it

Any thoughts?

ps  There's another Alex out here somewhere.  Figured I'd sign with my
last initial to keep confusion to a minimum.

Blindprogramming.com seems like it's dead. This thread about tutorials
& stuff is good, but it remains on this list. Any possibility we can
get a wiki or something in which to store this info?
