In this case, the text format predated the agenda tool. To date, a design constraint has been to continue to allow the text format be edited directly (and many of us still find that to be convenient at times). - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
