After copying several articles from sections of scanned text that had some strange formatting - I found a couple techniques that help. If the test is oddly spaced - whole sections can be pasted into the subject line of an e-mail to remove the formatting. It can then be pasted and edited more easily. Other ways of doing this?
I also found that if there are two columns that are not in a separate text box that if they are pasted into word, highlighted and a table inserted that the columns will separate and the text from each can be copied and pasted properly.
It is super important to get feedback -and great to see your first forum post! is navigating to particular tools or forums the primary challenge or is it editing and starting new tools, forums etc?
Under the tools tab, there is an instructional video about how to use the farmhack site.

If you have particular suggestions etc. that would be a great place to post a comment.
What about sandboxing all the internal chapters/articles and just publishing the main table of contents as a regular tool - with each article linking to a sandboxed tool? That should work right? Then the navigation is from a main tool page to the articles - but the articles will then still have forums and no coding needed.
