Hello,

   Thank you for such a great piece of software!

   When displaying the entries in a log book with Summary view, ELCode is not processed in 'Text'. I know there
is an option called 'Allow HTML", but is there something similar for decoding ELCode in the Summary 'Text' field?

Thank you again,
   - Dan

Decoding HTML (or ELCode which translates to HTML) in the summary field is difficult, since the text is 
truncated. 
Assume you have some code like

Text
<b>Text
  <i>Text
----- cut here
</i>
</b>

Sot he bold <b> and italics <i> tags are opened, but closed after the cutting line. In that case the whole page 
might render wrongly, because everything after the summary text will be displayed in bold and italics. To fix this I 
would have to scan the HTML code and close all open tags "by hand". But since there are very many possibilities, 
especially if one used multi-column tables, this is almost impossible without writing my own HTML parser which is 
beyond the scope of elog. So the only clean solution I have found so far is to strip off all HTML formatting and 
just showing plain text there.

That would be a lot of effort for very little gain. I appreciate your detailed response. 

Thank you,
   - Dan

This may be already answered somewhere around here, but I could not find it. 

Question: Is it possible to have a pull down will a sub menu.  Something like,

Entry 1

Entry 2 --> Entry 2a

                   Entry 2b

                   Entry 2c

Entry 3

Entry 4

Thanks!

 The way I do this is

Hi Stefan,

This has happened twice on this forum now, starting from Mon 23rd November.

Someone submits an entry (Me, 66625, Bertram Metz 66628)
I assume you post a reply (66626, 66629), but it shows up as if I or Bertram are the author of the reply, not
yourself.  My reply to you (66627) was really authored by me, and I expressed puzzlement then at this point.

Is this a bug, or some wierd affect of us forgetting to log out?

Regards,

David.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. This bug was introduced recently, when I tried to avoid the

in the subject line. I changed this now completely so that we can have

Preset on reply Author = $full_name
Preset on first reply Subject = Re: $Subject

which fixes both things. The modification is in revision 2271.
