Re: Galileo Roller Coaster
The first thing I tried was the "link" button (I think you were referring to this when you said "WYSIWYG editors require you to use a special form for entering links"?), but it was greyed out. The second thing I tried was just pasting the link. This seemed to work (though I admit I did not test it), but I could not figure out a way to change the displayed text to what I wanted it to say. That's when I tried entering the html directly with the result as you see.
I confess I did not notice the html tab. It looks like I can get good results if I play there, I guess.
