I think github-online editing worked, quite nicely even.<br>
<br>
The process seems tedious but what you get for free is quite nice.<br>

You click "edit this file", it creates a github fork for you.<br>
When you change and click "save" the changes are saved to your fork.<br>
Then you are automatically put on the screen where you send a pull
request.<br>
As for example the link above.<br>
<br>
Pretty neat in my view. Absolutely usable so far. A fully documented
and repository-based, click-and-point patching process.<br>

So I decided to try this out. I went to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/lib/et/doc/src/et_intro.xml">https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/lib/et/doc/src/et_intro.xml</a> ,
clicked "Edit this file", removed the stray apostrophe on line 43,
typed in a commit message, and clicked "Propose file change". I got
a very fancy 500 error page that changes perspective when I move the
mouse; no sign of anything being committed to my otp fork on Github.
Is there a workaround for that?
Regards,
