So I'll use a browser quirk to do so:
Basically it is just forcing the browser (doesn't have to be online) to open up what it thinks is a huge editable box, like the entire screen.
Depending on the browser, how old it is, etc etc, this usually works on modern browsers in the url bar:
Code: Select all
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
Options:
1) Make contents larger - just use your browsers zoom-in or zoom-out capabilities. Like CTRL+ , CTRL-
2) Save your prose: CTRL-S
3) Open something you've already written down: CTRL-O
4) Copy and paste from say the Porteus support forum itself by highlighting a tip, using CTRL-C, going into this funky notetaker, and CTRL-V.
Problems:
Other than your browser not supporting this feature, a common issue for me at least is getting the url wrong. Forgetting the comma. Not using html in the contenteditable tag. Using a semicolon instead of a colon. Stuff like that when I'm in a hurry. Take your time.
Solution:
When you get it right, just make a bookmark of it.
So yeah, it's not really a high-feature editor. But it is handy, and can put an otherwise sleeping or offline browser to a multiple use. Further examples can be found on the net which add features, but these basics are good enough for me.
