But sending your changes like this makes quite a bit of extra work for both of us.<br></div><br>At the top right of each page there's a "View page source" button which will show you the RST markup used originally - could you work off that instead? There's a <a href="http://blender.org/manual/about/markup_style_guide.html" target="_blank">Markup Style Guide</a> to help get you acquainted with the language.<br><br></div>You're welcome to send your changes in chunks (instead of only once when you're completely done with it) - just keep the rest of the page intact, without any missing info, so we can add it immediately. Otherwise I think it's easier to finish a page before you send it.<br><br></div>The three sub-pages for shape keys (animating, editing, examples) are all empty, so pretend they don't exist. If the main shape keys page gets too long, we can split it up.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 January 2015 at 17:34, koil . <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dd4567@hotmail.co.uk" target="_blank">dd4567@hotmail.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
