Do you mind if I bounce this reply to the list, as written? I was going to just do it, but I thought better of it.
Not at all - I am posting this to the list.

Lots of styling experiments mean that I update often, which further causes lots of messages sent to subscribers.
Try the Preview button. It creates a preview of the change below the edit area. More ideas below.
I do but somehow I always come up with a new, better idea, just after saving :-)
- Is this generally annoying to subscribers?
Depends. Lots of short messages can be OK if they are various targeted changes. That can be easier than slogging through a long, single edit of a large number of changes. If you use the preview button or the sandbox style (see below), you can make it so that only substantive changes are saved. Although we all make typos that have to be fixed, and there is the Trivial Change checkbox for that when submitting.
These are the same methodologies
- Is there a better place for trying out various formatting options
(perhaps I should just make a new page for this purpose?)
Use your NameSpace (e.g. VladimirKosovac/) as a sandbox. You can prototype entire trees of documents, then use ''More Actions: > Rename Page'' for each page to move it to Docs/Drafts/.
Yes, figured that earlier this morning and started already.
- Should I bother you with this stuff or post such questions to the list?
Yes. :) I'm always happy to help directly, but there is an advantage to sending to the list.
OK then, I'll post to the list and CC quaid, so that both these are accomplished. . . Just kidding.
If anything, we all learn that there really aren't
any bad questions, just unasked ones. So, here's a recursive example.
