[GRASS-dev] Using "trac" is difficult

[Vaclav Petras]

Hi Nikos,

I can understand that it is not easy to know that you can use
trac-wiki formatting. I've tried open new ticked and you have to go
through one other article to get to the WikiFormatting page:

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/newticket
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/TracTickets
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/WikiFormatting

The WikiFormatting link is only in the "Add comment".

The problem is that  I've recently discovered that it is possible to
highlight code, what a nice feature!

BTW, I'm not able to find "edit a ticket", although I think that it is
possible. (There are some projects which don't want to change original
ticket descriptions.)

Not sure what is the proper way to do references. May be just the numbered list
1. Item 1
1. Item 2
or with explicit numbers. [ and ] with number creates a link to a ticked.

should help.

If I remember correctly, it is and there is no way how to preserve it.
The only way is to use Preview.
