[pmwiki-users] EditMore not removing/updating tags

well, i sort of just answered my own question. i solved the problem,  
though i'm unsure if i've broken anything else in the process. in  
anycase, for reference to others, EditMore now works for MY tagging  
needs if i do the following:

     * the problem is solved if you change this:
           o $new['text'] = "(:tags:".$new['tags'].":)\n".$new['text'];
		---> to this
           o $new['text'] = "(:tags:".$new['tags'].":)\n"; // old  
'text' begone!!

new text no longer appended to top of old text - old text is wiped  
out, goodbye...

also, noticed that some case-insensitivity was not allowing forms to  
be resized:

     * was unable to change the size/width of Tags b/c the  
$EMTagsInputDisplay is printed in lowercase as $emtagsinputdisplay  
when placed in the stylesheet (same for $emdescriptioninputdisplay,  
$emnotesinputdisplay, etc...)


since i'm new to this, i'm not sure what the policy is on committing  
changes to other people's work, so i'm leaving my hands off. instead  
i've appended my notes to the Comments section...

(what is the policy on updating cookbook code, btw?)

alright. hope you've enjoyed this conversation with myself as much as  
i have,
adam
